2021 YouthCORE, Tullamore, Ireland

ENCORE in Tullamore in the Eastern & Midland Regional Assembly of the Republic of Ireland 2021 continued the YouthCORE tradition, and held a youth conference leading up to the main event.

YouthCORE ensures the voices of young people are heard and the YouthCORE outputs form a crucial input for the ENCORE Conference and the ministers’ discussions.

In 2021 the YouthCORE delegates met in a series of workshops to discuss ENCORE topics, share experiences from their respective regions and to build a common message of what future the youth delegates want in their regions. The participants created a board with examples of work being done in their regions within the Conference themes and a WordCloud of environmental solutions.

Finally at YouthCORE 2021 Conference in September, delegates created and presented “postcards” to their future selves describing how they would like to see the world in 20 years’ time. All this work could be viewed in the Tullamore Conference exhibit stand.
