SpunOut.ie Women’s Academy 2014

Due to the huge success of last years event and thanks to the Community Foundation of Ireland, we will be hosting the SpunOut.ie Women’s Academy which will run on the 8th and 9th of July 2014. The event will work to empower and resource its participants as leaders in society and agents of personal and social change.

Over the last 4 years, SpunOut.ie has been running its annual Academy focusing on equipping young people with the skills to create personal and social change in their lives and their communities around them. You can read about last years Academy here.
