Bhí na daoine ag iarraidh greim a fháil ar Jimmy agus Timmy. D’úsáid siad sleá mhór chun rugadh orthu.

Tales to Scale: Scaling Education is an initiative dedicated to promoting creativity in Deis (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) primary and secondary schools across Ireland. Through our engaging workshops and school projects, young people are given the opportunity to explore their own ideas and find their own voices. Stories produced in workshops are often published on our website under Tales to Scale which are free for all to read – and a lot of fun! Our team works with teachers to organise workshops in our centres, local libraries or visiting the school. Fighting Words is allocating increased numbers of workshops and activities for Deis schools. Teachers in Deis schools can contact info@fightingwords.ie for information.
There are also after-school programmes for young people who wish to further delve into their creativity: Word Warriors ensures a safe space for children aged 10-12 attending Deis schools to explore their own creativity. For young people between 13 and 18, we encourage them to join our free in-person Write Club in Dublin or Online Write Club. There are many ways for young people to share their work in these programmes, including publishing opportunities.
