Into the Heart is designed for school leaders, teachers, and school support staff. It is quite simply, an opportunity for participants to visit the projects we are passionately supporting, and the remarkable people we are walking with.
Participants will experience direct contact with the recipients of the generosity that flows from their EREA school communities. It is our aim that Edmund Rice identity and charism, will be at the heart of this visit, along with a greater understanding of sustainable development in action.
