From our friends at the Good Summit
THE GOOD SUMMIT TAKING PLACE AT TRINITY COLLEGE IS SET TO PUT THE WORLD TO RIGHTS!
The Good Summit is a gathering of international experts, commentators and activists to put homelessness, healthcare, hunger, climate change, equality in the workplace, access to education and the situation in Northern Ireland under the spotlight.
These and other issues pertaining to common social good are among issues set to be discussed by our commentators and activists at The Good Summit on Thursday 17th October as it returns to Trinity College Dublin for a second year.
