This consortium implements the following 5 projects under PATH 2 and 3 funds.
PATH 2:
- 1916 ‘Leaders and Learners’ Bursary
The 1916 Bursary is a HEA funded initiative supporting students from target groups who are currently under-represented in higher education. The fund will provide them with a bursary of €5,000 per academic year to support them in their studies. A significant proportion of these students will be lone parents and those studying both part-time and full-time are eligible to apply.
PATH 3:
- Creative Arts Summer School (CASS)
The Creative Arts Summer School is linked with further education, DEIS schools and a range of cultural institutions to raise awareness of creative qualifications and the opportunities within creative industries. The summer school is delivered across the five institutions within the cluster and provides scope for intergenerational participation to facilitate those with caring responsibilities.
- Open Learning

- Community Mentoring
Community Mentoring aims to extend the existing mentoring programmes within the cluster HEIs, and through an inter-institutional and cross-community approach, harness the power of access students and graduates to support the development of bridging capital. A mentoring toolkit and database will be developed, and an annual Summit for Access Mentors will take place.
- Dublin as a Learning City
Dublin is learning. Learning for Work. Learning for Life. Learning for Fun. Learning is for life, and it is for everyone. Lifelong learning is increasingly ongoing, voluntary and self-motivated. Dublin is also learning about itself. Different agencies and organisations are working together to make Dublin a learning city.
Dublin as a Learning City involves collaboration with community, education and government partners to develop intergenerational learning communities.
