As part of our work with the Cork Roma Project, we took a group of children and their parents to Fota Wildlife Park.
A day like this allows us to spend time with the children we are trying to encourage to stay in education outside of the classroom.
It also teaches their parents how it can be fun to learn alongside their kids and talk to them about the opportunities an education can give.
The trip had the added bonus of increasing Roma visibility within the local Cork community.
