At The Shona Project, we rely on the kindness of others to help us to continue to empower, educate and inspire the young girls of Ireland.

The SHINE Festival simply would not have been possible without the support of our partners.

We would like to say a massive thank you to our digital sport stage partner @sportireland.

Because of Sport Ireland’s kindness, thousands of young girls of Ireland have the opportunity to listen to lots of women tell their stories as we laugh, learn, try and cry together.

Now more than ever, the girls and women of Ireland need to be inspired and empowered so we can rise from the struggles of the past year with fire in our bellies and more united than ever.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank our friends at Sport Ireland as they have helped to create an unforgettable few days for thousands of Irish girls!
