Interactive Learning Centre
The Interactive Learning Centre provides access to the formal Community Sponsorship Training Programme available to all community sponsorship groups as they prepare to welcome a refugee family to Ireland.
The Community Sponsorship Training Programme has been developed in close collaboration with the programme’s Regional Support Organisations (RSOs), expert training consultancy partners, and programme beneficiaries.

The training materials are hosted on our interactive learning centre and provides an essential and comprehensive package of guidance to groups as they prepare to welcome a refugee family to their community. The training programme covers a variety of practical considerations that CSGs must navigate but also cover aspects such as inter-group communication, bias, power dynamics, and trauma.
