In celebration of International Women’s Day, we want to highlight our amazing #GaisceChallengePartner, the Shona Project.

@shonadotie provides school workshops, leadership programmes, and mentorship to empower and inspire today's girls in Ireland to become tomorrow's strong, confident, and curious young women. 

Last year, the Shona Project kicked off the Kindness Revolution, a 13-week program designed to spread kindness in schools and address bullying. You can take on this challenge in your school or youth group and spread a little kindness as part of your Gaisce Award.

@watersafetyireland, our newest Gaisce Challenge Partner, welcomed Sarah Gallagher (Gaisce Head of Communications and Engagement) and Stephen Peers (Gaisce Development Officer) to their Members Conference on Saturday 💧

The conference offered CPD-accredited training and a valuable opportunity for members to share expertise and discuss water safety best practices. Also in attendance were Caoilfhinn Young (Gaisce Youth Ambassador), who incorporated Water Safety Ireland into her Gaisce journey, and Peadar Ó Lamhna (Gaisce Gold Awardee and PAL), who is the Instructor, Examiner and Chair of the Water Safety Ireland Monaghan Committee 😄

We're proud to see such strong Gaisce representation 🩵
