On 22 April (World Earth Day), Challenge Europe advocates from Ireland and Northern Ireland held an event in the Cultivate Centre, Dublin to showcase their work and achievements throughout the year. The evening gave young people attending the opportunity to learn more about the pressing issue of climate change, to see first hand what is currently being done by advocates on the island of Ireland to bring about change and most importantly, to find out how they themselves can play a role and make a difference. The event was attended by the Irish Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Eamon Ryan and by the British Ambassador to Ireland, David Reddaway.
