LEVEL STUDENTS THEMSELVES HEARD
higher education also continues . With the Union of Students in Ireland ( USI ), we marched with over 10,000 students from all over the country to demand that higher education is affordable and accessible for all . The fight for this goal continues – we are hopeful that our cooperative lobbying and presentations to the Oireachtas Committee on Education & Skills will be fruitful .
!
This year we were in contact with more student councils than ever before , our first “ off-the-
!
shelf ” campaign “ Project Rainbow ”, promoting acceptance and integration of LGBT + people in schools had a phenomenal response . Due to limited resources , we unfortunately missed out on fulfilling all student councils training requests – we have a plan to tackle this demand for next year though and are looking forward to updating our training methods .

We are always looking for people to get involved in the organisation - we offer work
