So far, over the course of our 5 Storm Launches, we have combined creativity and culture, with our in-person launches in some of the most exquisite historical buildings in Dublin. We’ve been to the 18th century’s Casino Marino, the 13th century’s Royal Chapel in Swords Castle, the 12th century’s St Audeon’s Church and the 18th century’s Ardgillan Castle. If you are one of our international contributors, don’t worry, we do come to you via a live zoom launch so our entire Storm Community can connect around the world!
