'In western countries if someone dies they make a massive issue of it, which is a big issue, but if we Palestinians were killed whether it was 100 to 1,000, then it’s normal and OK. Palestinians are numbers”~ Palestinian girl (aged 14). Her words from 2015 still ring true today

Young people actively coerced into criminal behaviour on our streets. Adults actively grooming young people into violence. This is child abuse. We need the civic courage to call this out and need statutory authorities to act robustly in addressing this. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We are recruiting for our Part-time Postgraduate Diploma in Community Youth Work. If you have an undergraduate degree and are working (16+hours weekly)in the youth work sector, you can gain your professional qualification at our beautiful North West campus.

The only course of it’s kind in Ireland.

For a university that prides itself on its work on global citizenship, sustainability & the SDGs this is concerning.

The course was a game changer for me, I’d love others to have the chance to experience it too
