Meet author Ronán Hession, aka Mumblin’ Deaf Ro

As the pandemic wore on into 2020, and the use of face masks became ubiquitous, the Dublin Place Brand team partnered with the National College of Art & Design (NCAD) to create a series of eye-catching designs.

Bridging the Digital Skills Gap for young people

You may be tempted to believe that the next generation of our digitally native Gen-Z-bred workforce is already equipped with all the digital skills they’ll ever need.

The Digital For Youth (Enactus Programme), started by a group of University College Dublin students, is working hard to address this digital skills gap and aim to stave o
