Programmes
Our programmes provide expert guidance, practical training and user-friendly resources to support your work with young people
Youth Arts
The NYCI’s Youth Arts Programme is a strategic partnership of The National Youth Council of Ireland, The Arts Council and The Department of Children and Youth Affairs. It is dedicated to the development and advancement of youth arts in Ireland.
Child Protection
The Child Protection Programme is based in the National Youth Council of Ireland and is funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.
Global Youth Work And Development Education
Global youth work is essentially good youth work, which responds to young people’s changing circumstances. Global youth work is about discovering global issues with young people through non-formal education. The aim is to explore a young person’s role in their local community, and within a globalised world.
Equality and Intercultural
The Equality and Intercultural Programme at NYCI is here to support you to embed equality, inclusion, diversity and interculturalism in your youth work setting. We provide a unique and innovative suite of training programmes, resources, policy development, advice, and networking opportunities.
Youth Health
The NYHP is dedicated to developing and promoting a culture within the youth sector which focuses on health and wellbeing by building the capacity of the youth workers and volunteers.
International
We aim to facilitate and promote the involvement of youth organisations and young people in international activities and to encourage youth organisations to include an international dimension to their youth work.
STEAM and Digital Youth Work
We use innovative methodologies to increase the use of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and maths) to support the achievement of youth work outcomes and train youth workers to support the young people they work with to deal with living in an increasingly digitalised world.
STEAM Engagement Programme
Ensuring STEAM is used to improve the lives of young people and inspire their curiosity.
;
Using the Capturing Magic evaluation resource, a guide to evaluating outcomes in youth arts projects designed to support youth workers to effectively measure outcomes, this training will explore STEAM and youth arts evaluation approaches.
