The webinar launch will feature a panel of speakers from previous Child Talks events, including the host, as well as the Children\u2019s Ombudsman Dr Niall Muldoon.

Every year we hear a range of stories from children all over Ireland about the issues that matter to them, whether it be the digital divide, access to healthcare or discrimination. The Covid crisis has been a really difficult time for children and young people in particular and has no doubt raised a plethora of new issues. We\u2019ve had some amazing young people take part in Child Talks over the past two years, and I\u2019m delighted that Eric, Katie and Kate will be sharing their experiences with us at the launch next week.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At last year\u2019s event, Eric Ehigie (18), who will host the webinar launch, discussed how he became involved in politics at a young age. Eric commented, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChild Talks 2019 was phenomenal! It presented me with the opportunity to meet like-minded young people who are passionate about improving society in their own special ways, learn new skills, build my confidence, and share to the country the issues that I feel most strongly about. I have gained so much from the event and the build-up to it. It is certainly a significant moment of my life that I will always remember.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panellist Katie McKenna (17), who was the first speaker at the first Child Talks event in 2018 said, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChild Talks gave me a phenomenal\u00a0opportunity to grow as a person and meet amazing people with different world\u00a0views\u00a0and experiences. It helped give me a voice to speak about what I was passionate about and sparked a love of social activism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panellist Kate Murphy (17) added, \u201cChild Talks 2019 was a fantastic experience for me. It was great getting the opportunity to share my own story and to meet other children and to hear their stories. The workshops helped to build our confidence and we all learned together in a supportive and fun environment.\u00a0In my talk I spoke about the challenges I\u2019ve faced, how I\u2019ve gotten so much help along the way and the difference it made to me when people were kind and supportive when I needed it most.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theme of this year\u2019s Child Talks will be revealed at the launch, and plans unveiled for workshops for children and young people interested in taking part.
