YOUNG PROGRAMMERS PROGRAMME
Droichead will work with fifteen second level students from secondary schools and Youthreach centres/organisations in Drogheda and East Meath. We want young people’s voices and perspectives reflected and represented in our programme, and we want to ensure that a diverse representation of young people will participate. Working with experienced facilitators Dave Kelly and Cathal Thornton, and Droichead’s Director, Collette Farrell, we plan to set up a project which will allow young people to programme and produce an event of their choice in our centre, from idea to realisation. The event can take any form and genre.
Recruitment will take place this September, with visits to secondary schools & youth organisations in Drogheda and East Meath.
