Rediscovery Centre pilots new Plan B initiative
The Rediscovery Centre is currently facilitating an MA in Design Sustainability in collaboration with the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) and the Market Development Programme for Waste Resources (rx3).
Darragh Kirby, one of two students currently completing this MA, is now participating in the pilot project for the new Plan B initiative from Ballymun Regeneration (www.brl.ie) and Axis (www.axis-ballymun.ie). BRL and AXIS have worked together to develop the Plan B project to promote the use of vacant properties in Ballymun for temporary artistic and creative uses.
This project will commence on 16th January and will be housed in Unit 1, Sillogue Neighbourhood Centre, Ballymun. Darragh will be constructing a scale model of a playground he has designed to educate children about reuse and recycling.

The Rediscovery Centre has developed a waste education programme for second level students, particularly aimed at the Junior Cycle and Transition Year classes. The content of the workshops are cross curricular and they provide the students with the opportunity to be creative, develop analytical skills and gain practical skills that they will be able to apply to everyday situations outside the classroom.
Two different workshops are available:
- An introduction to waste management (80 - 120 mins)
- An introduction to sustainable design (80 - 120 mins)
We also offer a full half day programme (3 hrs 20 mins) that incorporates aspects of both workshops.
