Cork Access Network

This initiative was established to co-ordinate efforts to tackle Educational Disadvantage in Cork City as an outcome of the

Leave No-One Behind webinar held on December 15th 2020.

Cork Access Network is working to enable and enhance access to learning opportunities in Cork city. We are opening up the discussion about access in Cork, to name the issues and begin working on solutions at a local level.

The group involves representatives of Cork City Council, as a partner in Cork Learning City with Cork Educational and Training Board, University College Cork, Munster Technological University, Cork Chamber, Janssen and One Cork.

We intend to involve a range of individuals and organisations chaired by the former president of CIT Dr. Barry O'Connor . We are working at every level across the city, with the goal of creating a positive change to engagement with Access in Cork for the benefit of all learners.

How have you witnessed and experienced Access initiatives that have tackled educational disadvantage; (What does Access mean to you, What made this example work well?)

What can we do as a collective to remove or reduce barriers?

How would an Access Network be of benefit? (To you, to your work, to the city? How can this Network contribute to creating a more equal system, to change unjust design?)

Who can you bring along to the next Focus Group or Forum?

Have you recommendations for good practice for presentations at future Forum meetings?
