Communicating Europe competition
One of the activities of the European Parliament Office in Ireland is to raise awareness of the European policy processes. This year, The communicating Europe Competition organised by the representation of the European Parliament in Ireland asked Third Level students to produce a report on one of the complex issues being debated at European level using a language and concepts that would be understandable to the general public. Aaron McNicholas, Gareth Gregan and Sally Hayden were some of the young people involved in the exercise, and they visited the nearfm studios to tell us about their experience.

Here’s a bit of info on the storyline;
“How would you react if you were diagnosed with terminal cancer?
How would you feel? This is the situation for Emer Dorgan, a librarian in her fifties who has been looking forward to early retirement and the freedom to pursue her hobbies and dreams. Coming to terms with the awful prognosis is Emer’s biggest challenge but it also permeates the lives of those who love her”.
