Schools

The Concern Debates 2010-11 season has kicked off, with schools around the country debating the motion that “Genetically modified organisms are essential in combating world hunger.”

Christina Phelan, a student at Dunshaughlin Community school, joined a team of students and teachers to see Concern’s work in Rwanda first-hand. Here she tells us about her experience and how it has inspired her to make a difference.

The new season of the Concern Debates is about to begin. Have you registered yet?

James Esses was one of the debates-winning students that travelled to Kenya with Concern. During the trip, James and the other Irish students witnessed the devastating poverty in Nairobi’s slums.
