Youth Work Ireland Week 2024 takes place on Saturday April 13th – Saturday April 20th.
This year Youth Work Ireland Week will explore ideas around what makes us human, and what connects us to each other, irrespective of where we are from in the world, what our religious, or ethnic beliefs are or what race we belong to. In the end we all belong to one race – the human race. It is the unity in our diversity that makes us strong and our kindness that makes us stronger.
Cut from the Same Cloth
The Youth Work Ireland Week Activity Pack ‘Cut from the Same Cloth’ will support workers and volunteers to discuss and explore these themes with young people through fun and creative ways in youth work settings, so we can begin to support them to understand and to learn how to transcend differences and to come to the realization that we are all part of a global world and that our purpose should be to build a better, more prosperous, more united, more just and equal world.
The pack will be available to all youth services from March, for more details contact Gina.
