The Exchange National Educational Achievement Awards 2012 were presented by Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Ms. Frances Fitzgerald TD, on the evening of Friday, November 2nd 2012, in the Dublin City Council Building in the Wood Quay Venue.

Minister Fitzgerald also presented the raffle prizes which included, an iPad, a laptop, cameras and MP3 players following the presentation of the awards.

The recipients are an inspiration to those who are preparing for exams or who are thinking of returning to education. The event highlights some of the positive things happening in the Traveller community.
