Alicia will be inspiring us on stage about her year as 2018 ESB TechSpacer of the Year!
In 2017 Alicia began working with YMCA Ireland and with this organisation she began developing her digital media skills for advocacy and creativity. In 2018 she won a mentorship with the ESB as ‘TechSpacer of the Year’ for her outstanding participation in digital creativity projects by using digital tools to achieve social change.
In 2019 she was titled Ireland’s Lions Club Youth Ambassador and began developing ‘Generation Z’ which is a project aimed at helping parents understand their children and to succour communication on a variety of issues like mental health and LGBT+ matters. Alicia is one of millions of Climate Strikers around the world and is passionate about youth voice and engagement.
She spoke at Our Ocean Wealth Summit in June last, in front of Former Secretary of State, John Kerry, An Tánaiste and 30 small Island Nations.
She was named Ireland’s Ocean Young Ambassador and was chosen to represent Ireland by the Department of Foreign Affairs at the UN Youth Climate Summit in New York this year.
