Placement Students have a Busy Week!

Two students from St Dominic's High School in Belfast, have just finished a week-long placement with Public Achievement.  During their week they interviewed two Government Ministers and the Children's Commissioner, as well as running a workshop for other young people, and conducting 'vox pop' interviews on the streets of Belfast.

Aiobheann Fitzpatrick and Meghan McCaffrey, are both members of the WIMPS Crew, but their school placement gave them an opportunity to spend a full week with the organisation - and they had little opportunity to be bored!  On Tuesday they interviewed the Commissioner for Children and Young People, Patricia Lewsley.  On Wednesday the interviewed Deputy First Minister Gerry Kelly, and ran a workshop for the WIMPS Crew in the evening.  On Thursday they interviewed Minister for Education, Caitriona Ruane.  All-in-all a hectic if not untypical week at the PA office!  You can check out their interviews and the latest WIMPScast, on the WIMPS website.
