CLiC News

CLiC News is an online news platform created specifically for primary school pupils. Running for the last 15 years, this initiative is a Sustainability Action Lab collaboration and is produced with the TU Dublin School of Media as part of their 2nd Year online Journalism module. 

The website has been created especially for primary school children. It taps into the popularity of the internet in a positive and productive manner. It features all the best that the internet has to offer in terms of engagement, technology and literacy. 

How it Works: 

Second-year TU Dublin journalism students and their lecturers research and write engaging, age-appropriate news stories covering current events in Ireland and across the globe. This gives university students hands-on journalism experience while providing young readers with safe, high-quality digital content.
