Congratulations to the winner of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Award entitled ‘Vision Zero’, represented by Christina Whelan, Tara Johnson and Caitlin Cussen pupils of the Ursuline Secondary School, here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Ten teams represented Ireland at the Junk Kouture World Final held in Dublin last evening, together with 50 other finalists from the UK, US, Italy, France and the UAE.
Inspired by the Road Safety Authorities (RSA) Vision Zero campaign and a personal bike accident, ‘Vision Zero’ raises awareness of road safety.
Junk Kouture was founded in Ireland in 2010 by entrepreneur Troy Armour from County Donegal, with a simple yet powerful mission – to enrich and empower the lives of young people through creativity and sustainability.
Since the beginning, students have been challenged to create wearable designs from recycled materials, celebrating creative and innovative talent, while driving behavioural change toward sustainability, creating the change makers of tomorrow, and ensuring inclusivity and diversity which is at the cornerstone of everything undertaken.
