Course: Creative Pathways for All – Learning to Learn

IADT is launching a new Level 6 course exclusively for mature students with intellectual disabilities with an interest in film, animation, photography and design.

Young people with intellectual disabilities are a group of learners who to date have not had many college course options available to them. The Creative Pathways for All – Learning to Learn is an exciting 18-month college course that will run over two days per week from 10am to 2pm. The course will follow the college timetable of classes from January to April and September to December. There are 10 places available on this course and there are no fees.

The first module called learning to learn will support each student to transition to college life, the independence that it will offer and new ways of learning. Other year one modules that students will learn include animation, photography, design and art in practical workshop classes.

Year two of the course will focus on work taster or work placement learning. Students will learn about work skills, how to create a curriculum vitae and how to use LinkedIn. A work placement or work placement taster option will complete the learning in year two of the course.

Creative Pathways students will have access to a range of modules including learning to learn, creative workshop, work readiness programme, and work placement. For any additional enquiries please email creativepathways@iadt.ie.
