Schools Teams
Run by 3Rock Youth, the Substance School Teams, based in Dublin, are an exciting retreat team that have worked extensively throughout the Rep of Ireland, N. Ireland and overseas, including Brazil, the United States and Europe. Since 1991, we have worked with over 75,000 students in Catholic, Protestant and community school settings, earning acclaim from leaders within and outside of the church. Our aim is to facilitate students as they explore their faith in God, and to help them express that faith in this rapidly changing twenty-first century world.
What Substance Schools Teams do
Talks, personal stories, film clips, short films created by 3Rock Youth, discussion groups, interactive exercises and games. These are all used as tools to explore the deeper themes of personal faith, life skills and relationship with God in every aspect of our lives.
Our retreat programmes are created for your specific requirements, whether a full day, half-day or a single class session. Group sizes range between individual classes or entire year groups. Retreats can be conducted in the school or an alternative venue. Contact Susie .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to discuss what might best suit your secondary school
