The group will meet every Wednesday, except the second Wednesday of each month.
What is Fáilte Isteach?
It’s a wonderful community project where predominantly older volunteers welcome migrants through conversational English classes—building language skills, friendships, and community connections.

Fáilte Isteach (which translates from Irish as “Welcome In”) is a brilliant community-based project that brings people together through the power of conversation.
Founded 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.

💡 How It Works
Unlike a formal school setting, Fáilte Isteach is all about “student-centered” learning in a relaxed environment (often over a cup of tea!).

The 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.

The Focus: The goal isn’t necessarily perfect grammar; it’s confidence. Conversations focus on “real-life” scenarios, such as:

Visiting a GP or pharmacy.

Talking to teachers at the school gate.

Job interviews and CV preparation.

Understanding local slang and traditions.

The Setting: Small groups or “cafe-style” setups where everyone feels safe to make mistakes and practice at their own pace.

🌍 Why It Matters
For 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:

Reducing Isolation: Providing a weekly social outlet for people who might otherwise feel lonely.

Building Community: Helping locals and newcomers get to know each other as neighbors, not just strangers.

Empowerment: Giving people the practical tools to navigate Irish systems (health, education, transport) independently.

📍 How to Get Involved
With over 170 groups across all 26 counties in Ireland, there is likely a group near you.

As 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.

As 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.
