Youth
The work undertaken with the youth sector is aimed primarily at encouraging greater participation of young people in youth based activities and in the community generally. SECAD’s work involves a range of actions and initiatives aimed at developing self confidence, life skills and leadership skills. Some actions are specifically aimed at young people who are no longer in formal education. Others are aimed at general youth development often using community arts as a mechanism to encourage individual and group development. Training is an important part of nurturing the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
In Autumn 2009 a number of initiatives in the areas of strategic planning and active communities will be run by SECAD which may be of interest to community groups. For further details please look at the ‘News and Events’ section of this website
