Caricatures Ireland

In March I’ll be facilitating the Concern Development Education Youth Fora on Child Labour. These are a series of workshops with transition year students from across Ireland. Child Labour is discussed using a variety of media, including drama, art, creative writing and puppetry.
The Fora have been running for the past two years and demand for places has lead to an increase in the number of workshops happening. This year they are taking place in Dublin, Galway, Cork and Wexford throughout March. If you are a student or teacher and would like to find out more, contact Lizzy Noone in Concern on (01) 417 7740 and check out the website www.stopchildlabour.net. I’ll have more info when dates are confirmed.

Before Christmas I was asked to record the themes and discussions of the Southside City Partnership‘s SPAN Conversations meeting in the Stilorgan Park Hotel. This is a European Project run by the Partnership in conjunction with the Geography Department of NUI, Maynooth and looks at identifying key areas of social disadvantage and the causes of them in the Dun Laoighaire/ Rathdown area. To my shame I’ve only got one cartoon from the meeting (I forgot my camera!) but I have another session with them this month and I’ll get them then. This is one followed by work in a similar vein from previous conferences:

And I’ll leave you with some images from the meeting:
