Clare Family Learning Project

Dads and Lads ‹ Back to Courses

The Clare Family Learning Project plans to run a programme aimed specifically at Dads/Male Carers and their children using a sports and games approach. It is widely accepted in family learning programmes internationally, the difficulty in reaching males.

Aims of Dads and Lads

1. To encourage boys to get interested in reading using sport topics.
2. To encourage use of local library.
3. To encourage Dads and Lads to read together, increasing parent and child interaction time.
4. To have time together doing fun activities.
5. To have Dads role model being a learner for their child.
6. To promote the notion of Lifelong Learning: Boys are not doing as well as girls in our education system.
