How FUSE Works

The FUSE programme is developed based on current research and is made up of a suite of workshops on the topics on Bullying, Cyberbullying, Online Safety among others. These workshops are classroom based and delivered by the relevant class teacher. All workshops contain Teachers Notes and accompanying PowerPoint Presentations which include Videos &/or Scenario Analysis & Activity Sheets to ensure effective and efficient delivery of the core topics & key learnings by the class teacher.

The FUSE Post Primary programme is mapped to the Junior Cycle SPHE curriculum and is recommended for 2nd year students however schools may decide themselves how they wish to use FUSE to best suit their student needs. There are four compulsory workshops within the FUSE Post Primary Programme which are detailed on the FUSE homepage under “Workshops”. Thereafter, schools may deliver additional workshop topics at their discretion and per individual school needs.

Similarly, the FUSE Primary programme is mapped to the Primary School SPHE curriculum – there is a suite of five workshops recommended for 4th class students and a suite of 3 workshops recommended for 5th class and 6th class students respectively which should be delivered consecutively. As above, details are available on the FUSE homepage under “Workshops”.
