Outreach

Our outreach and engagement activites are designed to engage and inform on biodiversity conservation, on the importance of genomic information in better understanding the species around us and how this can be used to guide us towards a more sustainable future.

Local schools

As part of this, over the next academic year we are planning to engage with schools across Ireland through our workshop - SHAMROCKERS ☘️🤘. Targeted at primary and Junior cycle students, SHAMROCKERS aims to be both educational and engaging, combining classroom learning with real-world application. Students should hope to be:

• Introduced to the basic concepts of genetics
• Given real-world context for concepts they are learning in class
• Encouraged to curious about and conscious of their local biodiversity

Want to find out more or how to get involved? You can get in touch with us by emailing tridubire@gmail.com.
