Get ready for the trip of a lifetime with Into the Heart 2026.

Into the Heart has been developed specifically for school leaders, teachers, and school support staff. It is quite simply, an opportunity for participants to visit the projects ERF is 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.

The Into the Heart Immersion Hub provides you with key information for your immersion.
Please contact [email protected] if you have any queries.
