Some of the #teamies, i.e. me, can't be there which is really sad but for a wonderful reason, granddaughter-sitting-Sadie-Rose. So I thought in celebration of the launch, I'd share some photos from the art exhibition that ran alongside the conference.
@IDickson258@Convos4Care @ohigginsaoife Spot on Ian This is something I think that's was picked up in my research and I think @RobbieGilligan has written similarly. We really need to be ways of getting the evidence recognised to actually affect change in how we understand ed and outcomes across t life course
@jacqueMccartney@Convos4Care @ohigginsaoife Sounds like you have had a lifetime of learning, maybe not the "education" we tend to refer to. You have learnt and you have used your skills and knowledge to lighten the life and load of others. This is invaluable
@delythsedwards @ResilienceOx @Convos4Care @ohigginsaoife I was being a bit sarcastic... Sorry! Tbf it just looked like rock up to a classroom and study Shakespeare and if you're lucky* to go to the right school you'll get a field trip to the theatre! *able
@Convos4Care @ohigginsaoife It's all comparable๐ I feel lucky now as it's all helped me get a job and be able to feel a bit more secure keeping a roof over our heads.
