Alice Public Relations

Happy Monday from #TeamAlice! We're excited for the week as we gear up for a busy autumn! Our Senior Client Manager, Emma, is at UCD Belfield today delivering a social media workshop for our client BiOrbic, Bioeconomy SFI Research Centre. We’re also delighted to see client coverage for Children's Books Ireland on RTÉ. Laureate na nÓg Patricia Forde was interviewed as Gaeilge about the launch of the ultimate reading guide. Taking place on Culture Night this year, the guide celebrates the rich and diverse stories in Irish literature. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eDBDXgDc With Budget 2025 just around the corner, we're working with AONTAS, the National Adult Learning Organisation, on the launch of their Holding You Back campaign. New findings from AONTAS show that 41% of people participating in adult education are struggling to pay for household bills and meals. Almost one third of people surveyed said they need greater financial support to remain in education to improve their quality of life, build knowledge, and boost their career opportunities. Former Paralympian Ailish Dunne from Laois is supporting the campaign and calling for increased financial supports for adult learners in Budget 2025. Ailish, who is blind and competed in the London Paralympics in 2012, wants to go to university to study psychology. However, she told RTÉ’s Gail Conway she fears it may just be a pipe dream unless she receives proper financial support: https://lnkd.in/eA8W_Kaz Finally, My Legacy Month officially kicked off as of yesterday! We are excited to help implement this campaign. Coverage has been picked up so far in the Irish Independent, Irish Daily Mirror, The Irish Sun and more! 📸 - Emma at an Alice Asks event in Belfast 📸 - RTE, Patricia Forde 📸 - Marc O'Sullivan, My Legacy Month 2024

Good afternoon from #TeamAlice, We hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday. We’re never short on reasons for visiting the fine Georgian heritage town of Birr in Co Offaly but here's another great excuse! ‘The Reason of Towns’, an exhibition by the Irish Architecture Foundation with architect Valerie Mulvin, is now showing at John’s Hall, Birr, until Sunday, 11th August. It explores the traditions and future of the Irish town and features a series of immersive display ‘characters’, alongside the writings and buildings of Mulvin and her practice, McCullough Mulvin Architects. Over the weekend, we were delighted to see our #AliceAcademyForActivists alumni Leon Diop and Abdulai Mansaray host and contribute to discussions at the Global Solidarity Hub at All Together Now Both Leon and Abdulai spoke on the panel titled ‘Ireland’s 100,000 Welcomes, But Where Are You Really From?’ which explored the narrative around migration in Ireland. Also, a belated happy birthday to Leon! 🎂 Finally, since we've all spent the last week with at least half an eye glued to Paris, we're wishing the best of luck to all the amazing Irish Olympians competing this week and huge congratulations to those who've medalled so far 🥇🥉 📸Photo credit: Conor Healy PR Corporate Portrait Photographer based in Dublin, Irish Architecture Foundation, Towns of Reason exhibition 2024 #AlicePlaybook
