Project Brief

The project the team are doing is centred on animal rights and welfare advocacy. The team has set up a social media page whereby animal welfare and rights will be advocated. Further awareness will be raised through running an awareness class for the 1st and 2nd year students in SPHE class of our school. All students have been made aware of our social media page and are posting pictures of their pets, participating in online discussions and votes. Election candidates and local politicians have also been lobbied to achieve our project goals.
