Young Social Innovators 09

Blog: SpunOutters stirred it up at the YSI.

Pheeww! We are full of beans after an action-packed Young Social Innovators (YSI ) in the RDS yesterday.

Six SpunOutters attended this year’s lively event where we chatted to, met and filmed many brilliant students. Their YSI projects were an inspiration and it’s clear there were many shinning lights present with something real to say.

Take a peek below at the rousing and honest videos we shot, giving you all a taste of the philosophies, opinions and ideas our social innovators are currently shaking up. 

The heat is on . . . the heat is on-nnnn-nnn. Let us know what ya think!
