The report's findings includes;
- sentiments of the young people who were interviewed and alludes to some of the positive aspects of their lives and experiences; the strong bonds of friendship, solidarity, caring and fun
- negative aspects, such as the need for ‘guardedness’ and solidarity, especially in the context of routine experiences of racism and discrimination, for both the young people and their families.
- several recommendations, including the need for initiatives aimed at increasing the number of minority ethnic professionals and volunteers in youth work.
If this report helps in any way to increase, improve, expand, and create relevant and appropriate youth work responses for all young minority ethnic people in Balbriggan it was a journey well taken. I thank all those who journeyed with us and wish the community, and especially the young people, well, and we look forward to working with all youth work initiatives happening in Balbriggan.
If you have questions about the resource, please get in touch.
All the best,
