STE(A)M in Junior Cycle 2020- The Future of our Communities – Sustainable and Connected

The Future of our Communities – Sustainable and Connected?      

Change is, ultimately, an inevitability that everything and everyone must one day face. Community development's future is certainly going to be different from both its past and present. One of the most common and noticeable ways that culture has shifted in communities in recent years is in how things are valued and prioritised. In these workshops we will explore what it means to be connected as a community and how our changing values might alter how we connect with each other and our environment. “We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future.” (Paul Kagame)

Solution Generation

“The future of the world is in my classroom today - a future with the potential for good or bad”

(Ivan Welton Fitzwater)

The world is changing at a rapid pace. In order to respond to the emerging challenges of our future, we need to empower our young people to think, choose and innovate in ways that will enhance and sustain our lives, communities and world, now and into the unknown tomorrow. It is on this premise that the theme for STE(A)M in Junior Cycle 2020 - "SOLUTION GENERATION" is based.
