This initiative, co-led by Dr. Engman, Dr. Mattingly, and Turkan, addresses a gap in the statutory education provision of NI for RAS young people, creating a time and space where students of all backgrounds are empowered to share their skills and build community (in the English medium). The initiative is supported by ESRC Impact Accelleration funds, and in collaborations with Anaka Women’s Collective, QUB’s Open Learning, and Civic Engagement Funds.
