We were delighted that two Trinity VDP alumni, Cathal Ó hÓbáin and Kaushik Anandh, recently undertook the NYCI Child Protection Awareness Programme (CPAP) Train-the-Trainer course, along with some SVP youth development staff.

This excellent course is designed to prepare experienced youth workers and volunteers to deliver NYCI's Child Protection Awareness Programme within their own youth work organisation aiming to ensure that everyone can work safely with children.

Thank you to NYCI and everyone who took part and helped make the training such a success.

A very proud moment for the TUD SVP Society ()

After being named the Ireland winners of the European Charlemagne Youth Prize earlier this year, the successful team travelled to Aachen, Germany last week to attend the European Awards Ceremony. These prestigous Awards celebrate youth-led projects that strengthen and promote active citizenship across Europe.

Representing TU Dublin was incoming SVP TUD Society President Ninoshka Amanda Fernandes, who had the opportunity to speak to other international winners, network, and highlight their incredible work here in Ireland.

Reflecting on the trip, Ninoshka shared: “The TUD SVP Society has shown that through compassion, dedication and commitment, change within our communities has an irreplaceable impact on so many lives.”

Warm congrats from all your friends at SVP, once again to everyone involved in this incredible achievement.
