A new diversity programme will help children 'see themselves in a book'
Pictured at the launch of Free to Be Me were 5th class pupils Edan Fernandez, Clarissa Rostas and Login Abouelkir with Jane Alger, Children’s Books Ireland, and Seamus Hand, Managing Partner KPMG Ireland.
As society changes, it can sometimes be hard for some kids to find representation of themselves in the media, be it television, books, films, or videogames.
Ireland is more diverse than ever before, with a generation of young people leading the conversations on what race, gender, sexuality, family, physical disabilities and neurodivergence mean to them, individually and collectively.
