A PRIZE giving ceremony for transition year students who participated in the Graduate.ie Online Citizenship Programme saw Portlaoise College student Clodagh Fitzpatrick from Portlaoise College take home the top prize.
The overall prize which was sponsored by the MRDATF was for one selected student from Laois who participated fully in the initiative to attend a three-day educational trip to Strasbourg. Clodagh will travel to Strasbourg in November and spend one full day at the European Parliament where she will have the opportunity to take part in a Youth Parliament (Euroscola) with students from other EU member states. During her stay she will also be visiting other places of educational interest around the city of Strasbourg and surrounding areas.
The event was held on Friday 28 March 2025 in the Radisson Hotel, Athlone, Co Westmeath. Organised and funded by the Midland Regional Drug & Alcohol Task Force (MRDATF), the Graduate.ie programme is an online citizenship & democracy programme for second level students in Ireland.
