Plot Summary | For the past fifteen years, Peter has been a researcher and practitioner in the field of second language learning for refugees and migrants in Ireland. His recent doctoral research focussed on the lived experiences and social barriers facing these border-crossers both in learning environments and in wider social settings. On foot of these studies, he has set up a socially-oriented language school in Dublin which deals with the learner as a whole person. Also, he has developed the Intercultural Storytelling Project which brings together members of local and these new communities to share, co-author and publish their lived experiences in order to build bridges between them and foster greater social inclusion for the so-called ‘New Irish’.
