“Doing Gaisce has actually made me a more confident person, it’s also made me kinder and more considerate of other people. It has taught me patience and that if you persevere and put enough time and effort into something you will get there in the end.“
Olivia Porter – Gaisce Gold Awardee

The Personal Skill Challenge Area is a chance for you to develop an existing skill or try something brand new.
This is an opportunity for participants to explore an activity that interests them and to develop skills that they may have previously thought beyond their reach.
