Skills for Change
Want to grow own your food? Finally learn to sew? Or make the coolest poster for a cause you care about?
Join us this autumn for the ActionAid Ireland’s Skills for Change Academy – a free series of practical, and fun hands-on workshops led by some of Ireland’s best gardeners, makers and designers. You will learn new skills, meet like-minded people and discover how those same skills are helping women build stronger futures in Ethiopia and Nepal through ActionAid Ireland’s Women’s Rights Programme, funded by Irish Aid.

Learn the fundamentals of organic gardening, including soil health, composting and sustainable growing techniques. This is perfect for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

What to learn to sew? What to avoid fast fashion and learn how to repair your own clothes? The resurgence of sewing and clothing repair is helping people save money, reduce waste and embrace sustainable fashion.
