LYCS (also known as the School on Stilts, the Lourdes Project or the Craft Centre) is a commmunity development project based just off Sean Mac Dermott Street in Dublin's North East Inner City.

Development Education is a major part of the LYCS Adult Education Programme. It involves exploring issues relevant to the community from local and global perspectives.

Essentially, Development Education is about linking the local to the global, and empowering people to become active players in our increasingly globalised world.
