Ms Valerie Duffy:

Funnily enough, we have a group we call "effective disruptors". We have been working with some youth workers around bringing in the global youth work perspective and supporting youth workers as well as young people to make those connections between their own lives, the lives of young people and issues around the world as well. For example, we have a youth climate justice project and we work with some groups that would not traditionally have an interest in climate justice. One example is around the marine and someone from inner city Dublin who may not necessarily make the connection even though he or she is not too far from the Liffey. We have seen some young people who were really finding it a challenge in formal education but were just thriving in the space of non-formal education. It was fabulous to see. For me and for all of us, it is really important we engage with those young people that if they see an offer online or whatever, that they would sign up. It is about going out and finding people.
