I was working in Oughterard yesterday with the Dail na nOg meeting of several Galway schools hosted by the Clann Resource Centre.

I’ll be doing some facilitation with school groups in Oughterard on Monday. I should get some good images from it. I’m basically using cartoons to document the discussions. It’s usually fun.
I’m planning a post later on the Concern development education workshops I facilitated around the country last month. I had a great bunch of Transition Year students in Galway, Dublin and Cork. This is an ongoing project aimed at raising awareness of global child exploitation. There are currently over 200 million children being used for labour in the world today.
Charlie’s latest article is up on Double Vision, belatedly for reasons beyond my control etc. etc. I also haven’t got around to my report on my Concern Workshops, which I’ll try and have up in the next day or two. Back soon!
I’ll be giving a workshop to transition year students tomorrow on the issue of child labour. It’s a heavy issue, but I try to make it informative and with an emphasis on action (like many similar issues the sheer weight of it can be overwhelming). I’ll post more on it tomorrow, hopefully I’ll have some images ready as well.
