Скачать или смотреть Zeminar Presents Ian Power | Connectedness - What it Really Means

Ian is executive director of Ireland's youth information website SpunOut.ie by young people, for young people. SpunOut.ie aims to empower young people with the information they need to live happy, healthy lives.

In this brief and targeted talk he explores the modern paradox of how so many people feel lonely and yet have never been more connected thanks to the power of the device in their pocket. So what does it really mean to be connected in today's world - let Ian explain.

Ian is also president of the National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) and a board member of the National College of Art & Design (NCAD) & the Citizens Information Board (CIB). He is a member of the Research Ethics Committee for the National Longitudinal Study of Children in Ireland, and was previously a member of the National Taskforce on Youth Mental Health.

Ian has a particular interest in the area of juvenile justice and holds an advanced diploma in the subject from the King's Inn and a professional fellowship in the rule of law from Boston College.

Before moving back to Ireland to join the SpunOut.ie team, Ian worked at a sixth form college in Hackney London where he established 'Raising Aspirations'​; a programme to increase the progression of young people from socially excluded backgrounds into good universities. The programme went on to increase Russell Group progression from the college by over 400%, while five students participating in the programme secured Oxbridge places, the first Oxbridge admissions for the college. 'Raising Aspirations' won the Times Education Supplement (TES) award for 'Outstanding innovation in teaching, training or learning provision'​ in 2012.

Covering mental and physical well-being, equality, sexuality, education, entrepreneurship, activism, volunteering, bullying, cyber-safety, science, motivation, inspiration and so much more.
