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.
