Ms Orna O'Brien:

The Foróige Ecollective has been meeting up since 2020. Due to Covid, we have basically only ever met online. During ordinary times, we come on for an hour and a half every Tuesday. When we have a project like our podcast coming up, we tend to have a few more meetings every week. Individuals meet up with our leaders who are staff and volunteers. We would not be here without them so we would like to say thank you to them. As an Ecollective, we have always been inquisitive and we have always asked questions. Luckily enough, we have met with adults who understand these topics and are not afraid to tell us they do not know the answer to something and to go and find it for us. There could be a bit more honesty about people's level of information. We are not judgmental about how much you know because we are trying to learn as well. This is not a new topic but it is new to most of us and we are only learning. As I said in my speech, we are not going to shame any small efforts. I suggest that members should definitely look for our podcast. We are on Spotify.
