Visiting Teachers and School Psychologists from Malta

During the week of November 20-24, DCU's AntiBullying Centre and Educational Disadvantage Centre collaborated to host a group of visiting teachers and psychologists from Malta and to arrange visits for them to a number of schools. The group visited DEIS schools, St. Ultan's Ballyfermot, Francis St. Primary School Dublin 8, Virgin Mary Boy's School Ballymun, as well as St. Patrick's primary school on the DCU St. Patrick's Campus. 

The purpose of the visit was to explore innovative practices in Ireland with regard to school bullying and violence prevention, and to examine holistic solutions, including for children in schools of high poverty and socio-economic exclusion.
