RockEd Talks
Dear Rock Union members,
RockEd, a live, filmed, 90-minute talks event, inspired by the TED talks series, will take place in Blackrock College on 10th October 2019 at 7.30pm. The line-up for the night includes 5 current Blackrock College student speakers and a number of invited guest speakers.
"In addition to the chosen Blackrock college students, RockEd is delighted to announce that the guest speakers on the night will be: Prof Jim Lucey, Mr Cathal Maher, Dr Ciara O' Farrell, and Ms Sinead Moriarty.
The RockEd talks will consider issues such as human resilience, empowerment and wellbeing, art, a love of books and the knack of failing with distinction!
Join us!
Tickets on sale at reception."
Tickets will go on sale from reception on Monday 23rd September at 10 euro each.
The RockEd project is a school-wide initiative which began last year to promote public speaking and communication skills within Blackrock College.
Central to the RockEd project is the belief that the ability to communicate effectively is a learned skill that can be developed by anyone. To this end, over the last year, students throughout the school participated in regular RockEd workshops and seminars to learn the skills and tips for public speaking.
These in-school activities led to auditions to find 5 students to participate in the main RockEd event this October. We look forward to hearing from them and from our invited guest speakers.
All welcome.
Please support this exciting and innovative event at Blackrock College.
