T24-064BUS PEACEPLUS Let’s Talk Youth

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Let's Talk Youth. This is a 2-year Youth Dialogue Project focused on harder-edged Good Relations work including human rights, citizenship and environment. Direct dialogue on difficult and often contentious issues must be built into the project including clear anti-sectarian and anti-racism work and consideration of how legacy and identity issues from the conflict impact young adults today. The project will be underpinned by youth work principles and practices though youth participation in a co-design process and will engage 164 young people aged 16-24 years old who are disadvantaged, excluded or marginalised across rural and urban areas of the Derry City and Strabane District Council and the border counties of Donegal. The project will provide meaningful, cross-community, intercultural and cross-border programmes. It will embed the core elements of personal development, good relations, citizenship and positive progression. The programme will embody a diverse range of young people who can connect, share and learn their journey together including targeted participation from the LGBTQ+ community, young people with disabilities, BAME communities and those impacted most by segregation in education and housing. It will place needs, views and aspirations of the young people at the heart of the project and develop an active, inclusive culture. It should build young people‘s capacity to see themselves as active citizens and leaders who can make a vital contribution to society. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
