Model Girls aiming for Westminster!

Youth in Government is a government funded scheme that allows young people from different cultural backgrounds to join together to discuss and debate on current political topics. Some of the things we have discussed so far have been culture and identity.

Youth in Government organises day trips to the Dail in Dublin and Stormont along with weekend residentials to London and Londonderry. It also involves portfolio work in order to achieve an OCN qualification in Youth in Government. The portfolio work is just worksheets we complete each week based on what we have talked about at that meeting.

The Youth in Government programme is a great way to meet new people from different backgrounds to our own, the debates are fun and so are the leaders so each meeting is always a good laugh!
