Caroline runs the ALFA (Active Learning for Adolescents) Project in a small town in the west of Ireland. The Alfa Project is a full time education initiative for 13-16 year olds who have dropped out of school, providing a real alternative to the academic exam led education, combining the developmental base of Steiner Education with the need for young people to have a meaningful and experiential education. Caroline studied Political Science and Economics for 2 years in Dublin. She is a founder member of the Golden Horde, which later became a notorious trash rock band. Caroline moved to Belfast in 1988 where she became actively involved with Holywood Rudolf Steiner School and then completed a 2 year part-time training in Early Childhood education Steiner based in Co. Clare. Around this time Caroline felt very strongly that she wanted to start something new with teenagers, feeling they were not getting what they needed to help them in life. In 1999 she moved to Clare. Caroline formed The Alfa Project in 2000 in Scarriff, Co. Clare.
