Aistear is ten years old!

Monday 14 October 2019

In this weeks’ Scealta ‘Aistear’s Celebrates its 10th Birthday and reflects on how many practitioners around Ireland started to dip their toe in the water and saw that the framework wasn’t something to be feared. Instead, it was something to be embraced. It reflected very well what they were trying to do every day – helping children to learn and develop through play within the context of loving relationships.
