Excellent @politicsinacti1 presentations and richly engaging conversation by @StJosephs1964 @stpaulsbbrook @NewryHigh students with @JustinMcNu1ty @LizK1988 @MickeyBradySF @niassembly Hopefully students left with appreciation of putting passions to action via politics.
A marathon two-hour session for @StJosephs1964 @stpaulsbbrook @NewryHigh students creating and practising their @politicsinacti1 presentations they'll give to our politicians freshly restored @niassembly. Watch out here they come!
@alaninbelfast Blasphemy! "You pour boiling water over the tea..." https://open.spotify.com/track/7LR1PJwcOEPUkquondSMO7
Thanks to guests @conormurphysf and @JustinMcNu1ty MLAs who fielded questions from @stpaulsbbrook @StJosephs1964 @NewryHigh students on driving, drugs, and mental health. All good prep for their @politicsinacti1 presentation @niassembly
I'm a fan of @caferoyalbooks. Feeds my appetite for social/documentary photography. Check out the stock @BelfastExposed or Cafe Royal's website esp. Ireland catalogue. Great stocking stuffers! https://x.com/BelfastExposed/status/1738493459202195633
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Downing Street Declaration, which contributed to ceasefires and the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. May there be more joint declarations to develop peace and prosperity here and abroad. #DSD30 #GFA25 https://x.com/SharedFuture/status/1735602790238429272
Much to absorb during Dublin day trip w/ visits to Irish and British memorial sites as well as education and tour of Leinster House. Everyone — students and teachers — learned something new. @NewryHigh @stpaulsbbrook @StJosephs1964 @politicsinacti1
Louise Vance makes an impassioned speech calling on #NorthernIreland health and social care system to have a duty of care for unpaid carers: "When will they realise they are asking too much from us?" #CarersRightsDay @CarersNI @CentreForCare
Enjoyed welcoming @LizK1988 to Year 13 students in Newry and Armagh @politicsinacti1 cluster. We learned the personal story of getting involved in politics. @NewryHigh @stpaulsbbrook @StJosephs1964 https://x.com/LizKimminsSF/status/1727428328007876872
So pleased that historian #SimonSchama discovered #HandinHand integrated schools in #Israel and his call for "disarming tribally lethal animosity" #NorthernIreland @IEFNI @EcoPeaceME Putting out the #MiddleEast fires, a teaspoon at a time https://www.ft.com/content/81aedd9c-03d2-4d35-a041-c05fd2ff66ce via @ft
Another excellent session w/ @StJosephs1964 @stpaulsbbrook @NewryHigh students deciding their top issues to lobby local politicians. Thanks for the invigorating discussion! @SES_Project @politicsinacti1
@SJAMcBride Comprehensive article on how bad government (elected as well as civil service) is letting people of #NorthernIreland down. As a previous legislative researcher, I find the lack of will to implement a simple technical change to fix issue as absurd.
