This International Women’s Day, An Cosán invites you to be part of Dublin’s most meaningful celebration – an afternoon where luxury meets legacy, and every moment sparkles with purpose. On March 7th, 2025, The Shelbourne Hotel will host our annual International Women’s Day lunch, bringing together Ireland’s most inspiring women for an unforgettable celebration of empowerment and transformation.
A Legacy of Change
Since 1986, An Cosán has been at the forefront of transformative education in Ireland, empowering over 21,000 women to reshape their futures. Our approach recognizes that education alone isn’t enough – true transformation requires comprehensive support. Every woman who walks through our doors finds not just a classroom, but a complete support system – from childcare to counselling, technology access to financial support. This nurturing environment allows both women and their children to flourish, creating lasting change that ripples through generations.
An Afternoon of Inspiration
We’re thrilled to announce that the incomparable Miriam O’Callaghan will once again host our celebration, bringing her signature wit and warmth to this extraordinary afternoon. Guests will enjoy a drinks reception in The Shelbourne’s iconic Grand Salon, followed by an exquisite three-course lunch crafted by award-winning chefs.
Throughout the afternoon, you’ll hear moving stories from women whose lives have been transformed through An Cosán’s unique approach. Their journeys from adversity to achievement illuminate the powerful impact of education when combined with comprehensive support. You’ll also have the chance to win exclusive luxury prizes in our spectacular raffle, all while networking with Dublin’s most influential women who are passionate about creating change.
