The two year course has enabled the 32 young people to develop their leadership skills https://t.co/JHX8GCPuxy

Celebrating our newest Class of 2024 graduates! 🎓

On Saturday, the first cohort of young people who completed the Level 4 Certificate in Youth Leadership and Community Action became the most recent graduates to walk across the stage in the Whitla Hall.

The programme, delivered in partnership with @Foroige and @Rcitybelfast, involved 32 young leaders from the #Ardoyne and #Shankill areas taking part in community-focused projects to develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, empathy and resilience necessary to be an effective leader.

And not only that, but the qualification has also earned them 30 CATS (Credit Accumulation and Transfer) points, giving them a strong foundation for #FurtherEducation and employment opportunities.

“The experiences of these young people highlight that education is about empowering individuals and recognising there are many pathways to development.

“Part of our #CivicMission is to widen access to learning and #HigherEducation for young people across our society, regardless of background and it’s important that we are non-linear in this approach.

“Programmes such as this set a powerful precedent, demonstrating successful collaboration between academia and community engagement in achieving positive outcomes for young people across the region.” (Dr @ryanjfeeney, Vice-President for Governance and External Affairs and Registrar)

Congratulations, everyone! We can’t wait to see what you do next.
