videos
The thematic examples that follow are organised within several broad categories gleaned from an examination of the work of local leaders over the past three years. Taken in their entirety, and presented in their own words, the perceptive “stories” they tell encapsulate the centrality of their skill sets as relationship-based professionals. These video clips amply demonstrate the essential role local leaders have played in growing and sustaining effective youth-led social innovation across Ireland.
perspectives on paradigmatic change in teaching and learning
Wissam Abdel Samad reflects on his experiences in Ireland and Lebanon and notes how they have changed him as a person, as a teacher, as a manager, and as a citizen. He wants to enable similar experiences for others that result in lasting changes for how they think about teaching and learning. In the process, he articulates a broader goal for school and community transformation that begins with helping participants experience individual transformation. (2021/22)
