We have just returned from Amnesty International UK’s AGM at Queen’s University in Belfast. Continuing our Eastlea School Youth Group Project we travelled with three enigmatic members and one of their teachers to Northern Ireland. At the Conference we followed them through workshops, seminars, plenaries and an action focussing on supporting the Arab Spring. Here are some photos from the trip.
