Pupils from Loreto College, Coleraine, have scooped the all-island 2022 Trócaire Game Changers top prize for an innovative board game aimed at raising awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The group of four students from Loreto College won the post-primary, youth Category of the competition with their game ‘Planet Pursuit’ which focused on the effects of climate change and was based on the game of Trivial Pursuit.

Trócaire judges said they were blown away by the quality and creativity of the games. The final selection of prize winners on the day were chosen by the finalists themselves and announced at the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin.
