In recent weeks, Glencree’s Nadette Foley contributed to the STAND’s Changemakers Academy, bringing together 25 university students from both sides of the border for a residential programme at Knockree Hostel in the Glencree Valley.
STAND, a strategic partner of Irish Aid, empowers third-level students to champion global justice, equality and sustainability.
With Peace and Reconciliation as the programme theme, Nadette facilitated a workshop exploring Glencree’s history, peacebuilding work and Intercultural and Refugee Programme. Participants from diverse backgrounds engaged enthusiastically, particularly with Glencree’s approach to dialogue and reconciliation.
Nadette also introduced Capacitar wellbeing techniques to help manage stress and trauma, which participants described as “calming, grounding and useful.”
