North Avenue
When you read most ‘about’ pages, the company usually tries to create the perception that they are big and well established. Well, we are not! But someday we might be..or else we could just f**k everything up, who knows! To say we were born to create content would be an understatement..a very big understatement. I guess we just got bored of the same robotic news being delivered to us every day, so we decided to try to create something far less boring! We were fed up with the same old news bulletin beginning with ‘Hi, I am Brian Williams and you are watching news @ 6’.
Anyways, the goal of North Avenue is to keep you up-to-date with insightful & topical business stories via email for you to discuss and share with your friends. Expect us to drop by your inbox for a cup of coffee every Tuesday & Thursday morning. So if you are fed up of reading the same ding dong in traditional media, try giving some of our content a go. The more the merrier.
📧Edgy, a bit weird but informative business news right here -

Safetalk Training
SafeTALK is a half-day training program that teaches participants to recognize and engage persons who might be having thoughts of suicide and to connect them with community resources trained in suicide intervention. SafeTALK stresses safety while challenging taboos that inhibit open talk about suicide.
The program recommends that an ASIST-trained resource or other community support resource be at all trainings. The ‘safe’ of safeTALK stands for ‘suicide alertness for everyone’. The ‘TALK’ letters stand for the practice actions that one does to help those with thoughts of suicide: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe.
The training is on next Tuesday, March 10th at 9:30 am in the Blue Room
The session is 3 hours long with a short break for tea/coffee in the middle

The program recommends that an ASIST-trained resource or other community support resource be at all trainings. The ‘safe’ of safeTALK stands for ‘suicide alertness for everyone’. The ‘TALK’ letters stand for the practice actions that one does to help those with thoughts of suicide: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe.

Shout out Training
The ShoutOut Student workshop is an interactive, dynamic and informative 90-minute long session where the facilitators explore LGBTQ+ terminology, scenarios where students can act as good allies, and ways in which to create a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ students.
We also share our own stories, of coming out, or becoming allies ourselves, and explain how some language and behaviour during our time in school could be hurtful, and when it was supportive.
Date: March 3rd
Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm
Location: Fitzgerald Chamber
Tea/coffee and pastries will be provided too.

Brioscaí agus botúin
Want to use your Irish but afraid of tripping up? Have no fear! Bop down to eat some biscuits and muddle through.
Ag iarraidh do chuid gaeilge a úsáid ach faitíos ort go ndeireadh tú an rud mícheart? Ná bhíodh imní ort! Buail síos againn chun brioscaí a ithe agus botúin a dhéanamh linn.
Tráth na gCeist
Tar chuig Tolglann Uí Néill ag a 8pm do Tráth na gCeist carthanacha. €3 an duine agus foirne de ceathrar. Tástáil do chuid eolais agus do chuid Gaeilge ar mhaithe le duaiseanna maithe agus cúiseanna iontacha!
Come to the O'Neill Lounge at 8 for a Charity Table Quiz. €3 a head and tables of four. Test your knowledge and your Irish for good prizes and great causes!
Scríobh an Púca
Ceardlann scríobhneoireachta dhátheangach le Litsoc. Má tá suim agat sa scríobh, i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge, tá míle fáilte!
A bilingual writing workshop with the lovely Litsoc. If you have in interest in writing, in English or Irish, you're more than welcome!
Díospóireacht
Is cinnte go díospóireacht bhríomhar a bheidh ann ar an rún gur "teanga marbh í an Ghaeilge". Spiosrúil.
What will surely be a spirited debate on the motion "Irish is a dead language". Spicy stuff
Céilí
Má áiríonn tú uait na laethanta breátha sa nGaeltacht, ag déanamh Ionsaí na hInse i halla pobail randamach i gConamara, nó múna bhfuil céim ar bith ar eolas agat ach suim ann, buail sios go dtí an Global Lounge do chéilí le Pottersoc. Beidh an-chraic le ceol, rince agus bia, ceard eile a bheadh uait?
If you miss the lovely days you spent in the Gaeltacht, doing the Siege of Ennis in a random village ahll in Conamara, or if you don't have a single step but a lot of interest, head down to the Global Lounge for a céilí with Pottersoc. There'll be music, dancing and food, what more could you ask for?
Béile le Chéile
Ag cuartú seans beagán cainte a dhéanamh i nGaeilge agus beagán bia a ithe? Buail suas chuig Seomra Cruinnithe 5,6&7 do Béile le Chéile le UCD Amnesty, An Lucht Oibre, Na Daonlathaigh Shóisialta agus an Óige Ghlas.
Looking to break bread and bond over your cúpla focal? Head to Meeting Rooms 5,6&7 for a Potluck le UCD Amnesty, Labour, Social Democrats and Young Greens.
Plé Painéal
Tuairimí agat faoi todhchaí na Gaeilge? Buartha? Dóchasach? Seans go mbeadh suim agat sa plé painéal faoi, atá ar siúl sa Seomra Caidreamh (B214) i Newman, le aoineanna
Do you have opinions about the future of the Irish language? Worried? Hopeful? Then come along to the panel discussion happening in the Seomra Caidreamh (B214) in Newman.
