Training can be part of
Transition Year work experience
ACTIVISM TRAINING
GET INVOLVED
Become empowered with the skills, knowledge and strategies to be a powerful change maker in your community. UNICEF offers young people the opportunity to participate in local activism through our week long activism training programme. This is ideal for a Transition Year Work Experience Week or Volunteerism week.
The course is held on Fridays in Dublin, from 9:30-4pm. At the end of the first day you will have created your own action plan to deliver in your school or community over the following week. This course can work well for students who live outside of Dublin, as most of the week is spent in your school or community.
Please see below on dates, issues and to sign up!
