🧵Activity 5: Bracelets of Connection and Reflection 🧵

For this activity, first year students worked with their peers to create friendship bracelets, which symbolised the positive connections they have built within their new school community. 👐

They also took time to reflect on their journey since starting in September, thinking about the friendships they’ve formed and the positive experiences that have helped them feel more settled and connected in school life. 📚

A great way to highlight how connection and shared experiences help build stronger communities!💜

We held a Story Exchange for a group of students and lecturers visiting Ireland from Loyola University, Chicago! It was a lovely exchange, sharing stories about acts of human kindness. One participant said that "the joy from the stories was like the gift that was given twice".

It was a heart-warming exchange that we were delighted to facilitate, well done to everyone who took part 💜
