Hello all,

I’m writing to you to let you know about the part time, online options for Disability Studies / Disability Equality Studies in St Angela’s college in Sligo. I would be very grateful if you would consider sharing this with anyone that you think might be interested – we particularly want to encourage applications from disabled people. The options may also appeal to people working for, or living with disabled people and those working in the disability sector who aren’t currently in a position to take on a full-time programme of education. Community development practitioners may also be interested in the options.

We have created several study options, all commence in September 2017;

Option 1 - Students wishing to ‘test the waters’ of third level education can opt to take one key Stand-alone Module, without committing to a programme with an academic award (http://www.stangelas.nuigalway.ie/departments/course_details.php?id=INT61&&ver=en)

Option 2 – Students wishing to gain an academic award, can enrol onto the Certificate in Disability Studies programme, which involves taking two modules of part-time study, the certificate can be completed within a year ( Certificate in Disability Studies).

Option 3 – We also offer students the opportunity to undertake the Bachelor of Arts in Disability Equality Studies; a four-year part-time programme of study. After successfully completing 2 years of study, students may choose to leave with a Diploma in Disability Equality Studies (BA (Disability Equality Studies) Programme ).

The Mohill Sing Together group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 2pm in Leitrim Association of People with Disabilities centre. Over the few short weeks the group have built a repertoire of popular songs and ballads as well as harmony songs and rounds facilitated by Sarah Garden.

Kevin Mcgill,chairperson of LAPWD said “The Mohill Sing Together social singing group started in January and has been going from strength to strength. Sing Together provides an uplifting social outing for anyone whether they are retired, living with a disability or simply enjoys a good old fashioned sing song with others.

Sarah Garden of Sing Together said, “Bringing the community together through the medium of song is what Sing Together is all about. Singing has been scientifically proven to lift the mind and energise the body. Everyone has a voice and singing truly inclusive activity bringing joy to everyone who participates. At this event new friendships were formed as result of Singing Together.’
