"Education on the Margins" is a podcast series dedicated to exploring the diverse and often overlooked aspects of the education system that serve individuals on the fringes of mainstream education. This podcast will delve into non-linear education pathways, for example Youthreach, prison education, further education institutions, the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA), and other relevant organizations. By bringing to light the unique challenges and triumphs within these educational settings, the podcast aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the innovative approaches being taken to educate and empower marginalized populations.

Last year’s conference focused on empathy building pedagogies such as Story Exchange and Restorative Practice. This year we want to focus on put more of a focus on Educational Disadvantage so we are keeping the general theme about narrative and how being informed about where your students are coming from and their lived experience can influence your interactions and interpersonal relationships within the classroom. The conference is aimed at the whole spectrum of educators whether they work in Primary, Post Primary, Youthreach, Prisons or other non traditional sites of education that might be judged "On the Margins" of society.
