I hope you enjoyed your copy of Using Games in Youth Work for Development Education we shared earlier this week, as part of our Science Week celebrations.

As a further support for those of you taking inspiration from this week and our new toolkit, we're inviting you to enter a prize draw for either:

• €150 worth of equipment/materials needed to implement a games project using an idea from the toolkit.
• A loan of a VR (Virtual Reality) headset to be used to support the personal development of young people in your youth work settings.

I hope the toolkit is useful for you and I'd love to hear what you think of it, or what projects you plan if you win the prize draw!

All the best,

Barbara

P.S. NYCI would like to thank the many innovative youth workers and practitioners who took part in Games in Youth Work: Engaging Young People in Development Education 2019/2020 and who helped to shape the resources included in the toolkit.

The toolkit was written by Paul Keating of Limerick Institute of Technology. It was produced as a collaboration between NYCI’s STEAM in Youth Work project, NYCI’s Youth 2030 Global Youth Work and Development Education Programme, and Limerick Institute of Technology. It was funded mainly by Science Foundation Ireland with additional support from Irish Aid.
