A good education tends to lead to a higher paying job, as well as provide you with the skills needed to get there.

The purpose of education is to prepare people for life, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to contribute to a thriving society.
It was great to participate to the Launch of a report into experience among Minoriry Ethnic groups in Northern Ireland.

The report shows how the minority ethnic families faces not only challenges in accessing support and further education but more.

Some parents suggested the need for:
– Increased representation of minority cultures and language
– Diverse histories
– Local contribution of minority ethnic communities.

We were so happy to see women from diverse communities getting together and have a discussion.

Happy to be on the panel with @orlaveronica and @adriana.morvaiova who are both experienced in educating others.

It was also very important to discuss the importance of recognising talents of people from diverse backgrounds. We reminded everyone that Nominations are still open and hoping to get more nominations from corporate and other small businesses from the Minority communities.

Good luck to all the nominees so far and see the link for nominations here: https://tinyurl.com/37jrz33w

Thank you @christinewhite1515 for setting this up and we really hope we will continue with the same enthusiasm and looking forward to see more Women involved.

Yesterday we were invited to talk about career to children. It is very important to encourage children to talk about different careers from an early age. So, when faced with choosing a career, they do not feel overwhelmed. Help children make decisions by listening to them, providing them with information, and helping them understand the different opportunities available.

The kids were very interactive and they got to learn how education and other aspects are important when choosing a career path. Thanks @homeplusni for organising the International adolescent health week.
