This free course was made in the summer of 2021 in the aftermath of street disturbances in working class areas of Northern Ireland. It was produced with young people from Belfast and local community activists, for young people aged 14+.
The course aims to help young people think about what community means to them; to identify issues they are concerned about locally; and to develop skills to make positive choices about changing things and contributing to their community and society. In doing so it will help young people find their voice and tell their own stories.
