Schools' Programme

The DEBRA Ireland Schools' Programme is a terrific way to promote understanding of, and respect for, people who are different through discussion and debate; while increasing awareness of, and information, about EB. It also aims to heighten social awareness and many schools have found the project to be very beneficial in promoting respect for people who suffer from serious illness through consideration and reflection.

Schools around the country are invited to take part in the DEBRA Ireland Schools' Programme. Full support will be given by our Schools Co-ordinator throughout the academic year. For more information, please contact Conor on 01-4126924 or email conor@debraireland.org
