Welcome!
Gemini Ireland assists with the development of education in the Developing World.
We link up schools in Ireland with schools in Africa and Asia and help the schools to strengthen this link. The Irish schools involved with Gemini Ireland are as follows:
Clonaslee Vocational School (Co. Laois),
Coláiste Naomh Cormac (Co. Offaly),
Mercy Secondary School Ballymahon (Co. Longford),
Moyne Community School (Co. Longford),
Tullamore College (Co. Offaly)
Wilson's Hospital (Co. Westmeath).
Gemini Ireland’s aims are
- To assist in the development of education in the Developing World
- To create an awareness of the needs of the people in the Developing World
- To gain an understanding of world cultures
The Irish schools raise money for their twin schools and all schools participate in a cultural exchange of projects and letters.
Gemini Ireland also runs a workshop and a debates competition for Irish schools involved in the project. These activities help to create an awareness among Irish students of the problems facing the Developing World and to broaden their knowledge of African and Asian cultures. |
