We hosted a webinar in conjunction with Rethink Ireland on Thursday 6 May at 11.00am on our Engage & Educate Fund, a €1.2 million three-year fund created in partnership with Rethink Ireland and the Department of Rural And Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund. The objective of the Fund is to back innovative projects that empower young people and adults through education, enabling people from marginalised communities to access game-changing education programmes.

At this webinar, past awardees of the fund spoke about their successes to date, and Rethink Ireland shared advice on how to write a great application for the fund.

Panellists included:

Deirdre Mortell, CEO, Rethink Ireland

Joanne Dolan, Founder, Teen Turn

Dr Eithne Kennedy, Director, Write to Read

The webinar was moderated by Declan Black, Managing Partner, Mason Hayes & Curran LLP

The closing date for the fund is Wednesday 2 June and you can find more information on how to apply by clicking here.
