** Skills Summary Share Your Story Callout

We want to know how the young people you work with are engaging with Skills Summary on their personal journey. We want to capture how and why they've been using the tool, and how it makes a difference for them. Submissions can follow any theme and take any form, from poetry and essays to audio clips and video, and one entrant will win €100. Find out more >> ([link removed])
** Let's Act on Inclusion Video Series

Each short clip in this video series can be used as a standalone resource to raise discussions within youth groups or in conjunction with the free online resource Access All Areas: A Diversity Toolkit to embed diversity within youth groups.

Irish Girl Guides climb Ben Nevis (virtually!)
------------------------------------------------------------
IGG members love nothing more than a good challenge, so it was no surprise that some Senior Branch members completed a virtual climb of the UK's highest peak in some very creative ways! Some chose to climb their stairs at home 470 times to complete the challenge, with others climbing up and down the steps of nearby landmarks like churches, or completing multiple climbs of local hills. Read more about the challenge >> ([link removed])
** Ógra Fianna Fáil
------------------------------------------------------------
Ógra gives young people the opportunity to get involved in real politics and engage at a local, national, and international level. Members actively participate in political and social issues which affect young people and their communities, as well as a host of social and skills-development events throughout the year.
