At our last Youth Ambassadors meetup, we were excited to welcome @mamobo96, Founder and CEO of @gormmedia, for an inspiring workshop on "Telling Your Story Online." 🌟
Mamobo shared the essentials of impactful storytelling and how to communicate with purpose, all while taking us through her incredible journey of growing GORM from a simple Instagram page to a multi-award-winning social enterprise. Her story was a powerful reminder of how authenticity and passion can drive real change.
Our Ambassadors left feeling motivated and equipped with practical tools to share their own stories and make an impact online, which we`re already seeing 🙌
A huge thank you to Mamobo for such an engaging and empowering session! 💛

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 😄
