Fighting Words Welcomes RTÉ News to the Dublin Centre!
Students from Paradise Place ETNS in Dublin 7 featured in report on children's news programme news2day
There was great excitement at our Dublin centre on Monday, 10 March 2025 as the fun and creativity of a Fighting Words workshop was featured on television!
We were delighted to welcome Florence Okojie from RTÉ News children's news programme news2day to the Dublin centre for our workshop with 4th class students from Paradise Place Educate Together National School in Dublin.
Talking to students about the importance of being creative
After watching the students start a brand new story together with Scaling Education Officer Pierina Campbell and then work individually on their own endings with our team of volunteer mentors, Florence interviewed several of the students to discuss their stories as well as the importance and fun of creativity for kids!
"I learned that being imaginative can be more fun than it seems" - Nyle
" I like writing because I want to write my own ideas, my own characters, my own life, my own story" - Alicia
"If you never had creativity, your life would be boring and dull" - Aiden
Students work on their own stories and characters with our volunteer mentor team
