We've moved office! It's the end of a couple of eras as we leave Swifts Alley on Francis Street, Dublin 8, and you'll find us now on Foster's Place, Dublin 2. The last few days have been a bit like Ross, Rachel, and Chandler, PIVOTING our belongings into our new home. Changing environments inspires renewed creativity, and we look forward to continuing to support our people and protection of Ireland's environment from our new location. Here are our new contact details if you need to get in touch with any of our An Taisce team: 📞📧🌎

Ireland's #SDGWeek is in full swing. Stephen attended the @epaireland Circular Economy Conference yesterday. Lots of learnings gained for the NS Programme, SDG initiatives, and our schools. Recovery, recycling, reuse, repair, and waste prevention are the way forward. Building on our own Circular Economy event last January, we're looking forward to hearing students thoughts on how to create circular schools and communities.

Neat Streets Awards '23 💥 Here endeth the lesson for the Class of 2023. And what a lesson to endeth on! Our final workshop focused on effective environmental communication and 'harnessing the power of our words'.

🟩 Strategic use of the power our words
🟩 Positive framing
🟩 Coaching
🟩 Creating urgency (minus the doomism)
🟩 Story telling
🟩 Leading by example
🟩 Leading with empathy and compassion

All important tools for effective communication.

Are we ready to adopt a form of communication that uplifts, inspires, motivates, fosters vision, transforms perspectives, and leverages empathy and compassion to bring about change?

Each of our schools gave fantastic presentations of their work carried out over the academic year tackling litter & waste. All very deserving of the Neat Streets Award. Huge thank you to all our schools, guests, and friends of the programme this year who helped us make memories and progress!!! We're so excited to see schools raising their first Green-Schools flag over the coming weeks!! And if you're new here make sure you register for Neat Streets 2023/24. LIMITED spaces available.

Neat Streets Conference 23 Circular Economy 🌍⚡🎥@lensmen_visual

Neat Streets Conference 2023 a success! This year'

Neat Streets Conference 2023 a success! This year's theme was the Circular Economy a waste prevention approach which keeps resources in use for as long as possible extracting the maximum value from them before recovery and regeneration. It moves us away from a throwaway culture to a more sustainable circular culture. We had 25 schools in attendance from all across Ireland.

We were so excited to be joined by @annalise_murphy Irish triple Olympian and round world sailor. Thank you Annalise for sharing your Olympic spirit with us as well as your personal experiences with marine pollution and research with @turnthetideonplastic As they say at the Olympics "Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together". I think everyone must have held the medal for a jolt of energy⚡. The Olympic medal is heavy... a symbol of the weight of the work we have ahead of us but a reminder that inside all of us is greatness waiting to be unleashed!!!

A really big thank you to Kevin from @2gocup_org who showed us how his business is supporting the circular economy. We look forward to witnessing this deposit and return scheme grow from strength to strength. Our students came up with some clever, fun, weird and wonderful ideas in our Waste to Wealth workshop. We also had two very confident and inspiring presentations from @terencemacswineycc Co. Cork and @greenschoolscaritas Co. Dublin - thank you for your leadership on the day! And of course, the day wouldn't have gone to plan without the support and hard work our @antaisce and @greenschoolsire teams ❤️‍🔥

Our work starts in the classroom and expands to our communities by engaging the next generation in action-based learning. Education programmes help to produce generation after generation of climate conscious young people. We're excited to continue to make a positive impact in our communities.

Official video of the event to follow from the amazing @lensmen_visual Team ⚡🎬
