It’s not often that I get to go out to play on a Monday but I had worked very hard last week and was a very good boy so @emmaefarrell took me for a lovely #FreeRun. Thank you for the fun evening.

The @YoungAcademyIrl recently celebrated their 1st anniversary by unveiling their Strategic Plan for 2024-2028! The Plan is available for viewing & download in English or in Irish on the YAI website: bit.ly/4b8sQX1 #YoungAcademyIreland #YAIYearOne #YAIResearchForChange
Four members of the Young Academy Ireland executive committee stand in a row, in front of a brown bench, and with a tall wall with climbing plants, and trees behind them. Three women (Niamh Wycherley, Emma Farrell, Karina Doorley) and a man (Declan O'Loughlin) each hold a printed booklet facing forward, prominently displaying the cover - this is the YAI’s Strategic Plan 2024-28.

I'd recommend this article to anyone interested in #wellbeing in our schools. Lovely use of hermeneutical methods to establish understandings of wellbeing of a concept. Critique of neoliberal applications of wellbeing very welcome! #EdChatIE

New Publication Well-being is an increasingly important focus of Irish education and curricula. But what do we mean by well-being? We @CSLstudyUCD asked primary school parents, teachers, grandparents & principals & found that it means different things to different people 1/5

“We look for loneliness inside our heads when its source lies all around us, in the destruction of collective life, the erosion of communal bonds, the ruin of civil society, the squeezing of public spaces.” theguardian.com/global/2024/…

We think loneliness is in our heads, but its source lies in the ruin of civil society | Kenan Malik

Picture of a goldcrest - taken from birdwatch Ireland website. “Our smallest breeding bird species, measuring just 9cm in length. Very active, moving quickly between branches and can be difficult to get a good view of. Adult male Goldcrests have a bright yellow crown stripe with at least some orange tint. Bordered by thick black stripe on either side, with the rest of the head greyish green. The back, rump and tail are dark olive-green and there is a small white wing-bar”
