Dr Lilian Nwanze Lilian Akobo(Nwanze) ➡️ "As they share their stories, their stories will serve a humanistic function. When people different from ourselves share their stories, it can build empathy and it can build connection." #AGM25

John O’Driscoll, a learner from Cork Simon Community said ➡️ "There's a lot of my people suffering. If I can be that role model to inspire these young people, well that's my job."

Helena Wall, a learner at WWETB said about her education experience ➡️ "We are supported, encouraged, listened to and accepted for who we are. The ripple effect on my children is evident. It's a true saying: what people see, they will do." #AGM25

Swelihle Millicent Dlamini, a learner at Dignity Partnership said ➡️ "Racism happens because we don't have enough information. It's always up to us to challenge it and get knowledge." #AGM25

Nikita Thompson, a learner at Ballybeen Women’s Centre said ➡️ "Education is a pebble in the water and the ripple effect goes on. Education is vital in life. You never stop learning."
