SUMMARY:Artist of the Month Giulia Coli Nenagh Library
DESCRIPTION:Nenagh Library is delighted to welcome artist Giulia Coli and her exhibition Maeve and Me this February.\nInspired by the free\, joyful creativity of her 17‑month‑old daughter\, Maeve\, the project blends a child’s instinctive mark‑making with Giulia’s trained artistic style\, creating a playful dialogue between generations.\nDrawing on the idea that children create with natural freedom\, echoing Picasso’s belief that “every child is an artist”\, the exhibition explores how reconnecting with our inner child can spark fresh creativity.\nMaeve & Me runs from 4–28 February\, with a launch on Tuesday 10 February at 6.30pm. 40% of proceeds will be donated to Barnardos

SUMMARY:“Fáilte Isteach” Conversational Groups Nenagh Library
DESCRIPTION:Starting January 21st\, 2026\n“Fáilte Isteach” Conversational Groups will be held in Nenagh Library!\n\n\n\nFor booking & info\, contact:\n👤 Inna Varytska\nNew Arrivals Project Worker\, North Tipperary Development Company (SICAP)\n📞 Nenagh Office: 067 56676\n📱 Mobile: +353 (087) 253 2190\n     Email: IVarytska@ntdc.ie\n🌐 Website: http://www.ntdc.ie\n\n\n The group will meet every Wednesday\, except the second Wednesday of each month.\nWhat is Fáilte Isteach?\nIt’s a wonderful community project where predominantly older volunteers welcome migrants through conversational English classes—building language skills\, friendships\, and community connections.\n\nFáilte Isteach (which translates from Irish as “Welcome In”) is a brilliant community-based project that brings people together through the power of conversation. \nFounded in 2006 by Third Age\, a national voluntary organization\, the program was designed to help migrants integrate into Irish society by providing free\, informal conversational English classes. \n\n💡 How It Works\nUnlike a formal school setting\, Fáilte Isteach is all about “student-centered” learning in a relaxed environment (often over a cup of tea!). \n\n\nThe Tutors: Classes are primarily led by older volunteers. This creates a beautiful intergenerational and intercultural exchange\, where volunteers share their life experience and local knowledge while students share their own cultures. \n\n\nThe Focus: The goal isn’t necessarily perfect grammar; it’s confidence. Conversations focus on “real-life” scenarios\, such as: \n\n\nVisiting a GP or pharmacy. \n\n\nTalking to teachers at the school gate. \n\n\nJob interviews and CV preparation. \n\n\nUnderstanding local slang and traditions. \n\n\n\n\nThe Setting: Small groups or “cafe-style” setups where everyone feels safe to make mistakes and practice at their own pace. \n\n\n🌍 Why It Matters\nFor many newcomers—including refugees\, international protection applicants\, and migrant workers—language is the biggest barrier to “surviving and thriving.” Fáilte Isteach helps break down that barrier by: \n\n\nReducing Isolation: Providing a weekly social outlet for people who might otherwise feel lonely. \n\n\nBuilding Community: Helping locals and newcomers get to know each other as neighbors\, not just strangers. \n\n\nEmpowerment: Giving people the practical tools to navigate Irish systems (health\, education\, transport) independently. \n\n\n📍 How to Get Involved\nWith over 170 groups across all 26 counties in Ireland\, there is likely a group near you. \n\n\nAs a Learner: Classes are free and open to all levels. You don’t usually need to register far in advance—just find your local group and show up. \n\n\nAs a Volunteer: You don’t need a teaching qualification to help! If you are a fluent English speaker\, patient\, and enjoy a good chat\, you’re qualified. Training and conversation manuals are provided by the national team. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.thirdageireland.ie/failte-isteachhttps://www.facebook.com/thirdagefailteisteach\n#FáilteIsteach#NenaghLibrary#TipperaryLibraries#CommunitySupport#LearnEnglish#LanguageLearning#InclusiveCommunities#LibrariesIreland#nenagh#RightToRead
