It was fantastic for the pupils.. it really opened their eyes to the possibilities of where their education can take them. It was also brilliant that parents were given the opportunity to join in.

Widening Participation Outreach Network

The Widening Participation Outreach Coordinating Network is a subgroup of the UCD Widening Participation Committee and brings together UCD staff who are interested in engaging in  WP Outreach activities to increase the participation of underrepresented students at UCD.

The network meets three times a year to share examples of good practice and to maximise the impact of UCD engaging with DEIS schools and underrepresented communities.
