Preparing Art Portfolio

Gerry Callaghan 2018-12-06

We have had a very interesting offer of art classes being run onsite or in Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT).

Annie Morton is a mature student in Graphic Design in final year and she has kindly offered to run a Portfolio Course for residents over a 6 week period.

This is normally a course aimed at Leaving Cert students who would like to study Graphic Design/Art in college but will have to prepare a Portfolio of work for the CAO admission process.

This is a general arts course which would be of benefit to:

Anyone studying art in secondary school
People who would like to explore and develop their artistic skills.

It will be supported by Graphic Design lecturers from AIT.

To register interest please contact Alison Hough on (086) 05897777 or email ahough(at)ait.ie. Replace the (at) with @ of course!

We are a front line refugee support group mainly working on the Lissywollen Direct Provision site in Athlone. Our focus is on providing information and help to the 300 (on average) residents living there.

We also work on the Temple Direct Provision site in Horseleap, Moate.

Everyone in the DP sites in Athlone and Temple is what is described as a ‘Convention’ refugee. People who have arrived in Ireland under a United Nations resettlement program are known as ‘Programme’ refugees.

Convention refugees are people who have made their own way to Ireland and have applied for recognition of refugee status when they arrive.

Various official and unofficial routes and methods are used to travel to Ireland. These change continually, depending on weather conditions and enforcement levels at crossings.

On arrival people are normally housed for a few weeks in Baleskin, near Dublin airport. They are then dispersed to various direct provision centres around the country.

People can get protection if they meet the conditions set out in The United Nations Convention on Protection of Refugees.
