Comhar Focus Group - Expression of Interest

The PDST Leadership team aim to facilitate a small Comhar focus group session to gather your feedback and experiences of the Comhar programme and suggestions for development of same.

The focus group will be facilitated online via Zoom and will run no longer than 40 minutes.

Ideally the focus group sample would consist of both primary and post-primary Comhar 2022-2023 participants. We hope to capture voices from a variety of school contexts:

Mainstream
Special school
DEIS
Gaelscoileanna
Rural/Urban

Feedback from your surveys at the end of each of the sessions is invaluable and we thank you for this. The focus group will provide us with the opportunity of capturing further feedback in addition to that collected to date.

Once a focus group is established which consists of both primary and post-primary Comhar participants from a variety of contexts and settings we will communicate with the focus group regarding Zoom link and time. Questions for the focus group will be sent in advance.
