After the event we gathered at Sheriff Street Youth Hall for refreshments and catch up with one another.
SAOL also had on display their 17 October project- portraits of people supporting and promoting this year’s theme of ‘Respecting the Dignity of all Humanity’. The key messages of this theme were reinforced by a single word chosen by the sitter to convey their message, values and beliefs included on their portrait.
We also invited everyone to come visit our exhibition in the CHQ building, featuring new literature and materials from recent projects including; #addthe10th, LNOB series 2, the hidden dimensions of poverty; a toolkit to conducting participatory research, through our lens film project, lockdown liberties and our Trinity college poverty aware practice module.
Thank you to everyone for coming to the event. Thank you especially to all of the speakers and to the 17th October Committee. Thank you to Sheriff Street Youth Hall and Clarke’s Bakery for providing refreshments. Thank you also to Stephen Daly for filming. We should soon be releasing a short film of the day.
Thank you to EPIC for hosting our exhibition.
Finally thank you very much to Dublin City Council and the Department of Social Protection for making this event possible.
