MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Youth work makes a real difference to the lives of young people in our community. The National Youth Council of Ireland supports a number of campaigns aimed at improving the lives of young people in Ireland. Below are some of the campaigns that are currently running.
NYCI in partnership with our member organisations and the wider youth work sector is running the “Youth Work Changes Lives” campaign from 2017-2019 to highlight the positive contribution of youth work to young people, local communities and Irish society as a whole
VOTE AT 16
NYCI believes that young people should have a greater say in decisions and actions that affect them and their community. We have been campaigning for Government to extend the right to vote to 16 and 17 year olds for local, national and European elections.
When we negotiated GA resolution 73/25 International Day of Education none of us could have imagined that 2 years later we would experience the biggest disruption to education in history. This #EducationDay let’s invest in resilient, inclusive, quality education systems #SDG4 📚 https://twitter.com/orlmurf/status/1088676268185452544
Today is #EducationDay! If we are to #buildbackbetter in a post-#COVID19 world, we must ensure young people are supported through formal and non-formal education - youth organisations, learning and training institutions, schools, etc. #SDGs #LeaveNoOneBehind #Youth2030
