Ár bhFoireann
Ár bhFoireann DICE
Is ceithre institiúid oideachais tríú leibhéal atá ina gcomhpháirtithe sa Tionscadal DICE agus déanann léachtóir ó gach institiúid oideachais aonair ionadaíocht orthu ar fad ar Fhoireann DICE. Tá Comhordaitheoir Tionscadail i bhfeighil na hoibre a dhéantar ar an Tionscadal DICE ó lá go lá.
Cuireann baill foirne DICE an Plean Straitéiseach i bhfeidhm trí ghníomhaíochtaí agus cláir, agus soláthraíonn siad eolas do na daoine a ullmhaíonn tuarascálacha i gcomhair Chúnamh Éireann agus i gcomhair an ghrúpa CHOICE. Cuidíonn siad freisin le haighneachtaí a dhéanann DICE agus cuireann siad bonn eolas faoi phleananna straitéiseacha don am atá le teacht.
Laistigh de gach institiúid, tagann comhghleacaithe leo le chéile i bpobal cleachtais a thacaíonn leis an obair a dhéanann DICE. Agus iad ag obair in éineacht leis an Léachtóir atá i bhfeighil DICE ina n-institiúid féin, comhtháthaíonn siad an t-oideachas forbartha agus idirchultúrtha in obair gach institiúide.
