Over €62,000 For Kildare Literacy Projects, Including A Workshop Focused On Online Misinformation

The projects aim to address unmet literacy needs among adults, particularly in areas such as financial literacy, mental health awareness, and climate education.

More than €62,000 has been awarded to support eight innovative adult literacy projects in Kildare and Wicklow.

The funding is provided through SOLAS’s Collaboration and Innovation Fund.

The projects aim to address unmet literacy needs among adults, particularly in areas such as financial literacy, mental health awareness, and climate education.

Among the Kildare-based initiatives receiving funding are:

Exploring Options: A workshop series tackling financial literacy and online misinformation, tailored for unemployed adults. It focuses on building reading, financial, and problem-solving skills.

My Mind Matters: An eight-week programme integrating mental health and literacy development, designed to promote positive outcomes through health-focused learning.

Green Thread: Weaving Climate Literacy, Culture, and Sustainability in our Community: A climate literacy and social inclusion project uniting 15 Ukrainians and 20 older adults for workshops and discussions on sustainability and community engagement.
