Work Experience Malaga
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for the opportunity to send our students to Malaga for a work placement experience. This project has been a groundbreaking experience for many of our learners, who have never had the chance to travel abroad before. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and the personal growth they've demonstrated. This project has opened doors to new possibilities and broadened their horizons, and for that, we are truly thankful.
Two of our students had the privilege of working at a local food bank, where they witnessed firsthand the resilience and generosity of individuals facing significant challenges. It was a humbling experience, as they saw kindness and compassion among those struggling to make ends meet.

Intergenerational Learning
We have been working on a project called ESCAPERS where we have focused on intergenerational learning using escape games. It has been such a learning expeirence for everyone in the Gaiety School of Acting and we have loved working with a group of Older Actors on the project who have been wonderful in helping us design the games and will be testing the games shortly with us!
It was great to work with people from all over Europe and we were delighted to host them all in Dublin recently
