STEPPING STONES PROJECT ART EXHIBITION

The Stepping Stones Project (Equality for Women Measure) held an art exhibition in Abbeyfeale Library on Thursday 19th April. Local photographs and paintings produced by the ladies from the project were on display. The exhibition was opened by local potter John Sherlock. These ladies are part of the Certificate in General Learning – FETAC Level 4 course which is based in the Community Centre in Tournafulla. Participants in the course are recently unemployed women and the programme aims to support them to progress to further education and training and to increase their word readiness. Modules offered on this course include IT, Math’s, Communications, Painting, Drawing and Photography. County Limerick VEC and West Limerick Resources are involved in running this course. This project is funded under the Equality for Women Measure 2010-2013, with funding from the European Social Fund (ESF) through the Human Capital Investment Operation Programme 2007-2013 and the Department of Justice and Equality.
