An amiable, anti-capitalist guy. My passion in life is working on community projects dear to my heart at the moment it's Ireland's first democratic school and homelessness solidarity.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've worked at Summerhill School, the world's oldest democratic school where kids can choose whether to go to lessons and each member of the community (both students and teachers) have an equal vote.

I also founded Cork City's first ever non-religious community - the Cork Humanists. I did it because I believe just because you're not religious doesn't mean you have to go without being part of a moral community.

I've also co-founded the Sudbury School Paris and Wicklow Sudbury School.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I know Irish set dancing (the couples Irish dancing, not solo dancing) and the Tin whistle I would be happy to teach some basics of each.
I've been involved in numerous grassroots campaigns including the Marriage Equality and Pro-Choice movements in Ireland, the People's Assembly in England.

I'm an administrative processes and activist geek so if you need some help with organising a group or designing a website just let me know. I actually enjoy that sort of thing :)
