Leave No Behind- Series 4
ATD Ireland are proud to launch our Leave No One Behind Series 4 Conversations funded by Concern.

The purpose of LNOB series 4 is to raise awareness of Agenda 2030 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by exploring the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) Promise attached to the Agenda and what it means to those facing poverty and exclusion.
We asked groups “What does it mean to Leave No One Behind?” and related questions, such as; “What does support feel like to you?” and“What are the barriers to participation?”.
We facilitated workshops which were largely based on creative expression. Specifically, we used collage. Creative expression acts as an equalizer, supporting everyone to have their viewpoints heard regardless of level of education, level of spoken English, confidence and familiarity with the topic.
After 13 workshops with 10 groups across the country we decided on 9 key themes which reflected the creative expressions and conversations we had over the course of the project.

Overall participants really connected with the concept of ‘Leave No One Behind’, even if they were not completely familiar with the Sustainable Development Goals and the promise itself. The participants had a unique insight and knowledge into how people were being left behind; from a national and international perspective to how people were being left behind within their local communities. From this knowledge we can take valuable learnings on how to promote inclusion and ensure everyone has their needs met.
