Schools of Sanctuary Ireland

Schools of Sanctuary Ireland is an organisation that supports schools to be places of welcome and inclusion for everyone. 

Schools undertake a programme of learning, action and sharing to participate in the network and receive the "Champion School of Sanctuary" award.
A core element of the Schools of Sanctuary focus is for students and staff to learn the many “whys and hows” of giving sanctuary, especially to refugees, migrants, marginalised ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups. 
Schools model and celebrate diversity and difference, striving to ensure that every child or young person respects the identities, cultures and values of others. 
Staff and students pursue a commitment to become ever more inclusive places, taking an active stance against prejudice, bias and racism and are proud to stand in solidarity with minority, marginalised and vulnerable students, their families and communities.
