Literificans on BBC Free Speech

On 22 May, members of the Literific had the opportunity to participate in BBC Free Speech, a live debate show on BBC Three that was filmed in Derry~Londonderry.

Several Literificans, including Adam Kydd, Paul Shannon, James McAlister and Julia Andrade Rocha, were able to pose questions to the panel concerning youth unemployment, Stormont’s handling of the economy, equal marriage and several other pressing issues.

We are hoping that the Literific will be able to attend similar events and debates in the future should they happen in Northern Ireland. If there are any debates you would like to see the Literific attend, please contact us at internal@literific.org.
