An Cosán

Our mission is to use the power of transformative education through learning, leadership and enterprise to end the injustice of poverty wherever we find it. 

An Cosán offers a variety of programmes in early years education and care, after school education and parenting support with speech and language and child therapy support also. In our adult community education centre basic, further and higher education programmes are offered with academic mentoring, counselling and coaching support for learners. Since 1986 over 19,500 adults and children have availed of our services.

An Cosán has evolved from a local and regional organisation to a national social enterprise in community education, with a continuum of methodologies from face to face to blended online education, empowering individuals reach their lifelong learning potential, access employment and exit poverty.

where your money goes

All donations and payments support our work providing vital adult and early years education to communities in Dublin and across Ireland.

history

An Cosán, a unique social enterprise, is rooted in the extraordinary dream of two visionary women, Dr  Ann Louise Gilligan and Dr  Katherine Zappone who, in 1986, created a community–based project in Tallaght West to support the local community, through learning, leadership and enterprise.  This local project has now become a national social enterprise serving similar communities who struggle with inequality and the injustice of poverty across Ireland.
