About EDNIP
The Embracing Diversity, Nurturing Integration Project (EDNIP) is a research and intervention partnership initiative in Mary Immaculate College that works with five DEIS band 1 primary schools in Limerick city to promote and support the inclusion and integration of migrant children and families into school and community life.
EDNIP began in 2017 and has developed a model of inclusion and integration that has been successfully applied in the project’s partner schools. The schools involved are Our Lady of Lourdes NS, Presentation Primary School, Scoil Iosagáin CBS, St John’s Girl’s and Infant Boy’s School, and St Michael’s Infant School. EDNIP is based in the Transforming Education through Dialogue (TED) Project, Curriculum Development Unit. TED is a strategic partnership between MIC, the schools, agencies and organisations of the Limerick region and beyond.
Phase 3 of EDNIP (2024 – 2026) is funded by the Asylum Migration Integration Fund.
