3Yr Education - Stewart's Hospital Project 2010

Stewart's Hospital is a charitable foundation, with more than 140 years tradition in the provision of care for people with intellectual disability. The institution was the first in Ireland to offer such support for people with severe disabilities. Services are provided regardless of age, religion, socio-economic background and encompassing every degree of intellectual disability.

3rd Yr Education students undertook a two week placement in Stewart’s Hospital in September working with the clients. In Rosscourt, NCAD students, trainees and clients worked on the theme of the ‘Salmon of Knowledge’ celebrating the multiple intelligences of the group through making fish using various media. The group in the Coach house explored the work of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and developed individual boxes around the theme of the clients personal dreams.

The work is currently exhibited on Floor 2 of the Design building.

PGD Ubuntu Project Presentations 2010

Fiona King, PGD Ubuntu Project Coordinator with Deirdre Hogan and Tamzin Batteson from The UBUNTU NETWORK.

PGDiploma students in the Faculty of Education engaged in a four day workshop which facilitated them to identify, assess and evaluate how best to embed Development Education (DE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) issues and concepts into the Art, Craft and Design syllabus. The student teachers worked collaboratively to create a body of work that demonstrated an informed and creative visual exploration of various issues relating to the umbrella theme of Changing landscapes. The student teachers examined a broad range of human development issues and environmental concerns through a variety of art practices. Issues focused on themes of Human Dignity, Gender Equality, Intergenerational Justice, Stewardship and Globalisation.

A selection of images from the workshop can be viewed HERE shortly.
