Global Citizenship Education (GCE)

Excited to be taking part in the ongoing GCE workshops with Meath Partnership, facilitated by the incredible Fiona Duignan.

Last week’s sessions featured powerful presentations from the Hope and Courage Collective and Dr. Lilian Nwanze-Akobo on rethinking our approach to anti-racist practice. I honestly learnt so much and am feeling inspired to continue deepening my GCE journey.

As Fiona reminded us, this work is lifelong learning — and as a facilitator myself, I know how important it is to keep learning, unlearning, and listening to as many voices as possible.

Roscommon Pride 2025

Last year, I had the privilege of working with some of the Roscommon LGBTQIA+ community on a photographic portrait project commissioned by the Roscommon Arts Centre for the city’s very first Pride. As part of the exhibition, I also designed a flag for this years pride featuring pictures and quotes from some in the community about what that first Pride meant to them. The flag was proudly displayed outside Roscommon City Council’s office, where it continued to hang during this year’s Pride celebrations.

This year, I was honoured to be invited back to capture some of the key moments of Roscommon Pride. I’m deeply grateful to have been able to share these experiences with such an inspiring community. The love, dedication, and hard work that went into organising these events has been extraordinary, marking an important turning point not just for Roscommon, but for beyond as well. Congratulations to everyone involved—and happy Pride x
