TU Dublin Research

StanhopeSS — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:12:04 +0000

Dear School Community,

We are partnered with TUD to help them with research on migrant and refugee experiences in Secondary School. Lots of staff and students have been involved so far, but we know need some parents to help. See below details.

Árpád (from TU Dublin) is doing research on how young people from other countries settle into secondary school in Ireland.

Árpád is looking for a few parents/guardians from a migrant or refugee background for a short interview. In this interview you can share your experiences as a parent in Ireland, any challenges your family has faced, and what kind of supports or changes would make things easier.

The interview is completely confidential and anonymous (your name will not be shared with anyone).

The interview can be either online or in person. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and you can choose a time that suits you.

If you are interested, please contact Árpád directly:
