On Friday, YSD hosted the Leadership Training Programme! The programme is for the young people currently completing our QQI Level 5 course on Peer Education who wish to develop skills specific for taking action in their community as leaders and changemakers.

The event saw the Peer Education QQI course close out as participants presented their final projects, facilitating a workshop to their peers. Guest speakers gave a short presentation on how youth leadership connects with global citizenship by mobilising global justice, equity and sustainability. Members of the Youth Advisory Panel were also in attendance and shared their experience taking a youth leadership role within ECO-UNESCO.
