Graphic with text – You are invited to the first ever Omagh Youth Network Event
You are cordially invited to play Organisational Networking Passport!
The aim of the evening as well as to drink tea and catch up with other youth minded people, is to bolster youth work practice in the Omagh and wider area through the opportunity to network and learn from each other.
Everyone is welcome as it is an opportunity for statutory, voluntary or community youth groups / organisations / individuals and uniform, music or sports groups / organisations / individuals/ teams to come together and either showcase the good practice that they are providing for local young people up to the age of 25 years or meet, mingle, chat and learn from those people who are supporting our young people.
The ask is to spread this invite to all your family, friends or work colleagues and either volunteer yourself or group to present practice which may have worked for your young people which we can learn from (copy). Examples of practice areas we are all struggling with are below.
If you do not want to present, still turn up and have a cup of tea/coffee with us and chat to those brave souls who are volunteering to showcase their work and whoever can mark of the most groups/ organisations they have spoken to wins.
If you are happy (brave enough) to showcase, please get in touch with me (Priscilla) at 078 80723076 and I will book you in. Thanks to EA Youth Service for hosting this event and Youth Action for their organisational input.
