Social Entrepreneurs At Large
Posted by admin | Filed under Photography, Social Entrepreneurship
Over at Social Entrepreneurs Ireland this week, the 2009 batch of awardees were announced.
31 innovators were given pride of place at the Annual SEI Awards, which was attended by the President Mary McAleese. They are once again some amazing people, leading amazing, necessary and innovative projects. If you have a few minutes to space, I recommend having a gander through their profiles which you can read here
To top it off, the awards took place in a wonderful rennovated Georgian, brought back to life by Social Entrepreneur Paul Mooney over in Jobcare and his fantastic, brave and determined team in the TRASNAprogramme for ex-offenders. This may sound over dramatic, but I literally had hairs standing on the back of my neck when the team went on stage to meet the President- it got me thinking about the individual journey they must have been on to get them to that point in their lives, and the commitment and courage it must have taken to get there.
It was also great too to see my current batch of ‘Why do you do what you do?’ portraits surrounding the walls. Here are a few samples, and you can see the remainder back on the SEI website.
And you can have a look at a lovely little introductory video at this link:
And there is also a great video about Trasna available here
