So delighted to see so many of you join us at last week’s STAND Changemakers Academy showcase where we announced that – because of a consultative re-branding process in the past months – Suas will be trading as STAND in future. Just a name change, the community stays!

I am over the 🌙 to be at the first ever @stand_ie Changemakers Academy Showcase

My journey in activism began with a 6-week global issues course in NUIG in 2012 and it redirected my career so much for the better.

I’m so excited to see what this cohort of amazing people do 💪🔥

That’s a wrap on our very first Changemakers Academy! 💙

Friday's showcase was filled with inspirational stories, music, nibbles, and invaluable exchange. For two hours the Changemakers worked their magic and wove their talents and personal tales of change.
