Cois Claí - Learning Outside the Box
Unique Educational Experiences for Multiple Intelligences - Arts, Design, Music, Technology, Yoga, Wellbeing, Gaeilge, Play, Improvisation, Interactive Multimedia and more...
Comhcheol Arts and Wellness believes in holistic lifelong learning.
Cois Claí is inspired by 'scoil cois claí ' Ireland's historic hedge schools, which were an important community-level response to a strong educational need. Maria, founder of Comhcheol, has a unique educational history, involving fine art, music, multimedia, technology and yoga. Her PhD research was decidedly interdisciplinary, involving art, technology, philosophy, play and improvisation research, dance, theatre and coding.
Through Cois Claí, the arts and education side of Comhcheol, Maria will deliver educational experiences to young and old that blend subjects in a way that caters to people's natural multiple intelligences, rather than channeling them down the narrow learning paths conventionally pursued. Whatever the class may be, it is sure to be a refreshingly different learning experience, with a creative, holistic, playful edge.
