If you’re a Pol Soc teacher, make sure that you sign up to and attend the Annual Conference this Saturday. A super supportive bunch of teachers.

I’m hoping to put a lot of names to faces I’m only met digitally during Covid…!

BREAKING:

The Government has announced that a referendum amending the Constitution to enshrine a clause on gender equality and removing the reference to the role of women ‘in the home’ will take place in November. The exact wording will be known by the Summer.

#IWD2023 Traveller women are amongst the most discriminated and disempowered communities in Ireland & their health outcomes reflect that. Research infrastructure reform @HSELive is key to ensuring equity & inclusion in health research #EmbraceEquity 1/🧵 https://t.co/701U4zco2k

Here's a 'classroom' ready handout on some of the possible outcomes of the Electoral Commission. Formatted into some of the question headings for the DBQ. Use it now, or it'll be out of date in a few months! https://t.co/zMYdPZdoSA

Another successful trip for KH to see President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola in Smock Alley Theatre. Her next stop was the Phoenix Park to meet somebody far less important...

[Mark Henry @Mark_J_Henry]

The Irish live in the 5th freest country in the world. The latest Human Freedom Index ranks Ireland only behind Switzerland, New Zealand, Estonia & Denmark in terms of economic, social, and personal freedoms. That's worth celebrating 🇮🇪👏🎆

[KHPolSoc @KHPolSoc]

Very jealous that some of my students get to go here, but I didn’t… 😥

[Robert Shaw @RShaw1641]

Excellent first session here at #euroscola with MEP Raphael Glucksmann discussing disinformation and fake news. He signed off 'If you don't fight for democracy it will collapse and that fight starts in schools'. @VikiMalcolm @JeromeDevitt @Kings_Hospital @ekavanagh456
