Community Links Programme - creating opportunity for all

The DISC Programme was established in 1998 with the aim of achieving equality of access, opportunity and training to Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) across inner-city disadvantaged schools. 

The DISC Programme operates in 38 inner-city disadvantaged primary and secondary schools. This involves the installation of computer resources in schools and implementing a programme of relevant teacher training to integrate the use of computers into the teaching/learning process in all curricular areas.

To this end we have devised a number of programmes that help us to meet this objective and are applicable across all curricular areas. These programmes include the use of 

• Comic Creation,
• Clay Animation,
• Video Production,
• Class blogs, Podcasting,
• Video Game Making,
• 3D Design
• Robotic Lego

to capture the imagination and open up a world of possibilities for young people in Dublin inner-city schools.
