Clare residents invited to apply for our 2023 Build School Access Programme
Following the success of our 2022 Access Programme, Common Knowledge is partnering with Clare Local Development Company to offer five of their SICAP Programme clients the opportunity to attend Build School.
At Common Knowledge we are committed to supporting the development of a diverse and inclusive community. Although the cost of our courses reflect the resources required to create learning experiences we can feel proud of, we recognise this expense is a barrier to people attending.
We also understand that there are times in many of our lives, where we can feel excluded from opportunities to learn skills due to who we are or our individual circumstances. Through our Build School Access Programme, our intention is to remove any barriers to participation.
Access programme - details
A total of five places will be offered across four Build School dates outlined below.
For each person coming to Build School on our Access Programme, Common Knowledge will offer:

A place to stay, in a shared room at our guesthouse (valued at €175 for Build School)
