We want to wish Niamh Fortune, a DigiCoach from Dublin, and Ian Coleman Horgan, a DigiCoach from Kerry Services, all the best as they travel to Helsinki at the end of August to share their experience of training to become a DigiCoach with support staff Klara and Sophie. They will collaborate with project partners from Graz, Austria, and Finland as part of the Erasmus+funded SAID project. Niamh is highly regarded as a DigiCoach, with people noting her deep knowledge and patience. She has successfully introduced digital education tools to both young people and staff, and everyone enjoyed her sessions

Ian did a fantastic job working with the primary school children, introducing them to accessible educational digital tools. Though training his key worker, Phil, on new digital skills wasn’t easy! J Ian bounced into the classroom smiling, and the children loved learning from him.
