BANDON secondary school St Brogan’s College held its very own Model United Nations Conference on Tuesday. The annual conference, which is hosted by Cork Education and Training Board, normally sees hundreds of Irish students, as well as students from foreign countries enter into a series of gripping debates on issues of pressing global importance.
This year’s event, however, which would have been held in City Hall, was canceled due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic.
Cian Walsh s BT Young Scientist project was called Hemp for a Sustainable Future?
I’m from a mixed farm in Bandon, Co Cork. We’re in dairy, beef, tillage and we’ve forestry as well.
It’s very diverse. I’m 16 and in transition year in St Brogan’s College, Bandon.
I was interested in debating and Model United Nations (UN) before I was interested in climate action and the environment.
When that came up as a topic in debates, it was something I began to research more and more.
That’s how I started getting into sustainability.
I was one of 157 youth delegates to take part in the RTÉ Youth Assembly on Climate in Dáil Éireann in 2019.
