Youth literacy project makes its mark

WORLD famous authors, with more than 50 million sales to their names, have joined forces with Limerick city students to produce a unique literacy and enterprise project.

“Different Voices” is a collection of writings, artwork, and photography that was created to highlight the importance of reading and writing for young people, as well as raising funds to support the work of Barnardos children’s charity.

The book was put together by The Limerick Adult Education Service Youthreach programme as a vehicle for students to tell their stories alongside some of Ireland’s most prominent artists and writers.
