THE BIG IDEA WINNERS
Congratulations to Roisin Joyce, Abhainn Coady, Aideen O' Keefe and Clodagh Farrell who won the top prize in Ireland's national creative thinking programme The Big Idea.
Team Community Cara from Borris Vocational School won the overall award.
They explored the issue of hidden poverty and developed an idea for an app to support people living in poverty in Ireland to help connect them with local support.
Those judging the competition said the standard of projects submitted this year in the Youthreach and Community Training Centre (CTC) pilot programme was outstanding.
The winners were announced last Friday at the end-of-year online Big Showcase for the multi-award-winning programme.
The Big Idea is delivered through the Leaving Cert Applied (LCA) and Transition Year (TY) programmes, as well as an expanded pilot Youthreach and Community Training Centre (CTC) programme.
It was delivered across 22 counties this year, with a successful pilot programme trialled in Northern Ireland.
