Workshop Map

DAI Workshops Network

Now that restrictions around Covid-19 are easing we are very pleased to be in the position to resume the DAI Workshops in autumn 2021. This will be done on a gradual basis as the fallout from the pandemic means that some workshops are still experiencing constraints around premises, long turnaround time for Garda Vetting, and tutor recruitment. Please see the Workshop Map and listing below for information on the plan for each Workshop; the Coordinator of your local Workshop will keep in touch with you with all the details prior to the first Workshop.

For full information on the safe reopening of the Workshops please see the updated DAI Covid-19 Workshop Response Plan. As outlined in this plan both the DAI Student Return to Workshop Declaration Form and the DAI Workshop Medical Information Form must be completed and returned to the Workshop Coordinator before your young person attends the first Workshop.

Look at our Workshops Map below for information on the Workshop closest to you. Below you will find contact details as well as information on where and when your local Workshop is held.

If you wish to apply for a place in a workshop, an application form must be completed – this applies to both returning and new students.
