An interactive & fun youth-led event to hear from young people about what you want for the future of youth work.
Saturday 9th November in Omagh Youth Centre from 10:30-2pm with pizza to finish
This event is for 13-25 year olds, to hear directly from them about their their ideas for the future of youth work in Northern Ireland.
The Department of Education has started a review of youth work policy. As young people are key stakeholders in youth work, we are putting their voices at the centre of the policy development.
With the help of a Young Person’s Reference Group we are running multiple events on the theme of ‘A Young Person’s Vision for Youth Work in NI’. This event will take place in Omagh, with others having taken place in Belfast and Derry/Londonderry.
Join us at Omagh Youth Centre to have your say! The event has been designed by young people and will use youth work methods to achieve a balance of fun and engaging activities. There will be spot prizes throughout the day and we will finish with pizza for lunch.
Whether you’ve been involved in youth work before or are new to it, this event is for you. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of a discussion that will shape the future of youth work for years to come!

Image with text explaining State of the Sector Survey 2024
To ensure that we have a clear understanding of both the opportunities and challenges facing School-Age Childcare providers, PlayBoard in partnership with the School Age Childcare Forum is undertaking a State of the Sector survey.
The survey is an opportunity for School-Age Childcare providers to share a range of information about practice, workforce and quality within their setting alongside their views on the challenges facing the sector now and in the immediate future. For parents/carers using School-Age Childcare, the survey is an opportunity to have their say and help shape the future of play-based School-Age Childcare Services in Northern Ireland.
The closing date for completion of both surveys is Friday 4 October.
