Recently, my team and I supported the Clean Air Together Limerick campaign, a project led by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Environment and Climate Action Team in Limerick City and County Council. Clean air plays a vital role in both environment and public health, contributing to the well-being of our communities and creating healthier spaces. Healthy Ireland and Sláintecare recognise how environmental conditions directly affect our health. By improving air quality, we strengthen the social determinants of health—where people live, learn, work, and play—creating real benefits in everyday lives. With 27 key deliverables in the Healthy Ireland strategy, this campaign exemplifies how we can drive lasting change. Clean Air Together empowers people as citizen scientists, contributing valuable data to shape policy and improve health outcomes. This collaboration highlights the strong connection between environmental actions and public health. Together, we’re building healthier, more resilient communities.

Join me at the Event "Where is the Meal? Community Building with Meals" "Where is the Meal?" is a series of events responding to the question of how meals relate to place, and its cultural, political, technological and legal conditions. This event explores temporal and situative community building: How do meals come to be in places that are neither private nor commercial? What are the tensions that emerge when running a community kitchen, allotment or garden in a cultural or educational institution? For more details: https://lnkd.in/eDTdTySa

Attention educators, parents, and advocates! Let’s weave together the threads of community engagement and financial empowerment. Visit Jackie Ferrado, the Associate Director for Community Engagement at the WA529 table. WA529 is on a mission to empower Washington families by helping them save for educational expenses. Imagine a future where every student has access to higher education without the burden of excessive debt. That’s the vision we’re working toward. Just as Barbara Hunter emphasizes community engagement to bridge divides, Jackie Ferrado’s work echoes this sentiment. She empowers families to take control of their financial futures. Let’s rally around the idea that every child deserves a shot at higher education. WA529’s programs—GET and DreamAhead—provide flexible options for families to save. Whether it’s a traditional college or a trade school, we’re here to support students’ dreams. Swing by the conference, connect with fellow educators, and explore how community engagement and financial planning intersect. Let’s build bridges, break barriers, and pave the way for a brighter educational future. #WA529 #CommunityEngagement #HigherEducationSavings
