The Housing Executive’s Children and Young People Programme aims to develop six networks across the greater Belfast area for meaningful, purposeful and sustainable cross community engagement aimed at children and young people in Belfast.
The programme will develop the young people’s skills, citizenship, and vision for the future on themes such as:
Digital technology
Social Justice Issues
Health & Wellbeing
Environment and sustainable development
Shared Space
The Children and Young People programme will use a variety of methods to engage with participants in the most disadvantaged areas of Belfast in a community-led fashion.
Forms of engagement may include:
Peer Mentoring
Community Safety programme
Residential trips
Pre-Tenancy Training
Active Citizenship programme
The programme will enable, engage and empower participants from the targeted areas to become leaders in their community and champions for change.
