Dear ATAI members,
Website Access
We update membership on the website once a month, in general, the first week of every month. Here are some FAQ's about the website.
- You must register as a new user with the website, even if you were previously signed up to the previous site
- Your old username & password will no longer sign you in, however you may choose to set up your new account with those details.
- We are working on a voluntary basis. It may take some time to register everyone, as a lot of work has to be done, and there are only 2 of us doing the work.

Social Justice Mural
27 Transition Year students in Presentation College, Bray have been working on a social justice project exploring animal welfare and rights. Their explorations have culminated in the creation of an amazing 28ft. long mural which is being used as a teaching aid. The mural has been used to teach over 500 students already and has proven to be a dynamic springboard to explore the issues. Two students spent time in the DSPCA on a work experience module to gain a greater insight into specific animal welfare issues in Ireland.
