We’ll be showing a compelling short film by Sian Darling of Whobyfire Productions, which will introduce you to artists who have survived the refugee experience and are exploring freedom and healing through creative expression.
There’ll be a live radio interview by Right Now Radio host Ben Schokman with one of our fantastic guests, plus, movie tickets door prize, and for those feeling extra generous, the chance to donate to the purchase of new recording equipment for the radio team.

2. Law Student Colloquium
The fifth annual Law Student Colloquium is now seeking abstracts from students of all levels who wish to present a paper on any legal topic. Submissions by undergraduate students are especially encouraged. If you submitted an abstract before 12th November, please re-submit it because we have experienced some technical difficulties and may not have received your submission as a consequence.
An application can be made to speak at the Colloquium by submitting an abstract. An abstract is a short summary of the paper which the speaker intends to present. Abstracts from prospective speakers should be between 400 and 500 words in length and should be submitted via the Law Student Colloquium website. The deadline for submissions is Thursday, 6th December 2012.
Abstracts may be submitted here.
The Colloquium is an all-day event and will take place at Trinity College Dublin in the Law School and Graduates’ Memorial Building on Saturday, 16th February 2013. Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided and there will be a wine reception after the keynote speech, the Brian Lenihan Memorial Address. The address is in honour of the late Brian Lenihan, a former student of the Law School and Scholar of Trinity College who went on to have a distinguished career as a Senior Counsel and a Minister of the Irish government. The 2012 address was given by Judge Bryan McMahon, formerly of the Irish High Court, and chaired by Mr Paul Gallagher SC, the former Attorney General of Ireland. This year’s keynote speaker has yet to be confirmed.
