Lisa Consiglio: How Irish school students are leading the world in using storytelling and empathy to fight isolation

Mountains of year-end deadlines could not keep me away. Nor could the Christmas season. Nor the distance between New York City and Dublin.

Storm Darragh gave it a good try, but this weekend I landed in Ireland. On Thursday, I will have the chance to celeb­rate a landmark occasion for an Irish school, which has set a benchmark in global education. Santa Sabina Dominican College in Sutton, Dublin 13, will be awarded the Narrative 4 Gold Empathy Award, the first of its kind for any school in the world.
