"Learning from each other's struggles" provisional programme
The provisional programme is now available as a PDF file at this site.
"Learning from each other's struggles" booking not needed
Advanced booking is now closed, but it is still possible to book on the day. If you have childcare needs please email - we have a limited capacity.
"Learning from each other's struggles" accommodation
Rooms can be booked on campus via Maynooth's Conference and Accommodation service. A special rate has been agreed for workshop participants, which can be accessed using the voucher code SOCPOST - 10.
Maynooth is a small town in a rural area, so it's important to check before booking whether accommodation is within walking distance. The Glenroyal hotel is close; Carton House is somewhat more distant but still walkable. Two B&Bs within walking distance are Celtic Lodge and Aaronbeg.
Maynooth is only 35 - 45 minutes from Dublin by train (trains are frequent and run until late) so another option is to stay in Dublin, ideally within walking distance of Connolly Station (where there are several hostels, such as Isaac's and the An Oige (YHA) hostel, as well as hotels, such as the North Star and Wynn's) or Drumcondra (good for B&Bs in particular - too many to list but easily found online).
