Failte Isteach

Failte Isteach is a community project involving predominantly older volunteers welcoming migrants through conversational English classes.

 

Fáilte Isteach embraces a relaxed, unstructured learning environment. Our classes are tutored entirely by volunteers who are encouraged to welcome participants to their community through language; identify needs through conversation and focus primarily on fluency and building confidence. Flexible classes allow our volunteers to support participants in their immediate language requirements while offering a warm welcome.
