Gráinne O'Neill

Gráinne is based in Derry, Northern Ireland. She has been involved in Development Education since 2007 after returning from some time in Zambia with Barefeet Theatre and has worked with different organisations in the sector in this time, both in a staff and freelance capacity, including work with Children in Crossfire and Comhlámh. Gráinne describes herself as a mother of two earthy and wild children, Darragh and Naia, who keep her grounded and allow her to constantly look at the world with curiosity. Gráinne tries to bring this curiosity into her work and loves learning from the work of different organisations and how Development Education manifests within different communities and with the changing times we are in.
