Putting Down Roots - RTE News 23.11.2021
This project will see the planting of 8,000 native trees to represent the number of people seeking asylum in Ireland and living in Direct Provision at this time.
The 'Putting Down Roots' project, a collaboration between arts group Museum of Everyone, the Irish Refugee Council and climate change project Easy Treesie, aims to raise funds for young people who are in the protection process and have lived in Direct Provision to enter third-level education.
Each tree can be purchased for €5 - this goes to the Irish Refugee Council to help young people finance a third-level education.
