We're kicking things off at the 2026 #EducateTogetherAGM this morning with some World Café table discussions among members, focusing on sustainability, student participation, democracy, inclusion and equality ♻️ 🗳️ ⚖️ We also had a lovely performance from Ballinteer ETNS Third Class students 🎤 🎶

At the 2026 #EducateTogether AGM we asked: what barriers do schools face on student participation, democracy, inclusion, equality, wellbeing & sustainability – and how must the system change? Small groups, big ideas! 💡 #ReimaginingEducation #EducateTogetherAGM

“It’s the best school I could ever go to!” 🧡 📚 Some of our students take the mic on what makes their Educate Together school so special 🥰 Learn more about Educate Together patronage here: www.educatetogether.ie/reconfiguration/ #EducateTogether #EthicalEducation

According to SCoTENS, 70% of teachers feel they are not prepared for teaching controversial topics in a diverse classroom setting. Our Primary Ed Officer Vera discusses this with the PEACEPLUS ASPIRE Talks podcast by National Childhood Network. 🔗 Aitheantas: www.educatetogether.ie/the-aitheant...

Another great example of innovation and quality education in action ✨ 11 #EducateTogether schools collaborated on professional learning and innovation, funded by the Féilte Bursary Scheme. Peer observation builds trust, reflection, & collaboration—strengthening practice and benefiting every student.

Part of why life looks unfair is that we compare our full experience to the visible fragments of other lives. We rarely see their stress, fear, loss, or quiet struggles. The Law of Fairness asks a deeper question: what does a life look like when all experiences are truly taken into account?

Many people feel something important is missing from our understanding of existence. The Law of Fairness explores the possibility that science, spirituality, and lived experience may be pointing toward the same deeper structure beneath reality. Together we are separating assumption from structure.

Yesterday I spoke on RTÉ Liveline about the book and video promoting Sitka sent to every primary school in Ireland. One thing I didn't get to mention is that the tree is also highly invasive. Coincidentally, I later found one in my own place. We may as well be planting rhododendron everywhere.

'Outrageous industry propaganda': how I described on RTÉ Liveline yesterday the video and book promoting Sitka deadzones sent to every primary school in Ireland. So much more to say on this, but glad to have at least got a few words in to dispute such misinformation. www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

(1/3) I'm thrilled to announce that the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers is this year's @kennedyhrc.bsky.social Human Rights Award recipient! The NUPL is the Philippines’ largest voluntary association of human rights lawyers, defending civil liberties and victims of politically motivated abuses.

(1/2) My mother was famous for being the widow of Robert F. Kennedy, but she was so much more. With this book, I want to introduce readers to the fearless, funny and deeply compassionate Ethel Kennedy that few people knew.

(1/2) Ethel Kennedy’s spirit has been at the heart of our mission since she founded Kennedy Human Rights 58 years ago – and today, you carry that legacy forward. In honor of her birthday, make a gift in her memory 💌 ➡️ rekhrc.org/48qo2gA

(1/2) Whether her Birthday, a fundraiser or any holiday, Mum loved surrounding herself with family, friends, music and laughter. And she always was game for a theme and a costume. The more, the merrier!

(2/2) I came across these photos while putting together my new book, Ethel Kennedy: The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy, and had to share a few favorites from over the years. Happy Heavenly birthday, Mum. I miss you every day.
