Book Launch - "Learning for a just World"

On Wednesday the 25^th of October, three lucky students, who were chosen by Ms. Grace, ventured out into the city to attend the launch of a fantastic new resource for Development Education. We took the train into Pearse station and after a quick stop in Off Beat Donuts (thanks to Ms. Grace) we started walking into the city. The event took place in Loreto College, St. Stephan’s Green and was attended by some very important people including Éamonn Meehan, the executive director of Trócaire and Ciarán Cannon, The Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development.

The new resource is called “Learning for a Just World”. The resource is the product of hard work and dedication on the part of Trócaire, The Loreto Education Office and Irish Aid. The book was made with the intention of incorporating it into the New Junior Cycle and educating girls about the world around them. The event consisted of some speeches from the people who developed this resource, a presentation from some girls from Loreto Navan on their school Social Justice group and then we were treated to some tea, coffee and pastries. It was a wonderful experience to represent the school at such an important event and we were very honoured to be there.
