The Youth Council for Northern Ireland have teamed up with the Belfast Islamic Centre to organise an 8-week programme for Muslim Youth in Northern Ireland. Throughout the 8 weeks, the young people will take part in workshops of different natures e.g. art and drama, leadership exercises, residentials and cross cultural meetings. A portfolio will be kept so that at the end of the programme, the young people will automatically qualify for a Junior OCN qualification in youth work. The first introductory session will be on Friday 6th March at 7.30pm in the Belfast Islamic Centre.
The event is for people aged from 15-18. If you are near the age of 15 (but not quite 15), you can come along to the first meeting and find out what happens, although a certificate probably isn't gauranteed.
If you are interested, please let me know.
