Today was my last day with Schools of Sanctuary Ireland. A beautiful organization. It was a privilege of all times for me working with Places of Sanctuary Ireland. My lovely colleagues and Sanctuary Ambassadors from around Ireland organised such a surprising Goodbye party that made my tears shed, tears of happiness. I love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Places of Sanctuary Ireland (PoSI) is a network of groups and local communities which share the objectives of promoting a culture of welcome and inclusiveness across every sphere and sector of society in Ireland, so that wherever people seeking sanctuary go they will feel safe, find people who welcome them and understand why they are here, and have opportunities to be included in all activities. Places of Sanctuary Ireland is delighted to announce two new exciting employment opportunities. 1) Sanctuary Ambassador Coordinator Places of Sanctuary Ireland wishes to recruit a part-time Sanctuary Ambassador Coordinator for a new position to work to recruit, equip and empower Sanctuary Ambassadors to share their stories, cultures & skills in schools, universities, libraries, local councils and other community settings. Sanctuary Ambassadors are people with lived experience of immigration and international protection in Ireland. They are committed to building bridges between refugees and Irish communities, and thereby reducing the risk of divisive stereotyping and spreading of misinformation. 2) Sanctuary in Education Coordinator Places of Sanctuary Ireland wishes to recruit a part-time Sanctuary in Education Coordinator to work on a new project, ‘Sanctuary in Education - Stronger Together’, with Places of Sanctuary Ireland’s (PoSI) education streams. The role will grow and consolidate the unique PoSI culture of integration in both the ‘Schools of Sanctuary’ and the ‘Universities of Sanctuary’ streams and explore the possibility of a new ‘Colleges of Sanctuary’ stream. For information, job descriptions and application forms please visit the news section in the Places of Sanctuary website https://lnkd.in/eWgePNsv Candidates with lived experience of the International Protection Application process and/or Programme Refugees are particularly welcome and encouraged to apply.

An amazing occasion today at St. Mary's CBS in Portlaoise, students engaging in a workshop on importance of feelings of welcome, safety& inclusion for all especially for refugees and other ethnic minorities as they’re on School of Sanctuary journey. Well done for the sanctuary board too. The students engaged in workshop themes covering refugees, schools of sanctuary, importance of being part of community, first hand hearing refugee stories and much more. Thanks to all teachers and students involved especially their sanctuary committee for making a beautiful art work for their School of Sanctuary board. An amazing art work everyone included, everyone belong. Thanks to the whole school community of St. Mary’s CBS in Portaoise
