Youth Work Ireland - a grassroots member latest update on Climate Justice
On the 22 February 2024 Youth Work Ireland launched the Climate Justice Group Work research conducted by Dr Morgan O’Brien and Majella Finnegan of South East Technology University Carlow/Wexford/Waterford in the south east region of Ireland. This was launched along with officials from the Department of Children Equality Disability Integration and Youth. This work shows how group work empowers young people to address needs and aspirations around the things that matter to them in their lives - whether that’s big things in the wider world like climate change, or big things taking place in their homes and schools.
Theory of Change Resource
A number of key components make up the Theory of Change resource https://ow.ly/kPni50QG5nX including the following:
- What assumptions do people make about young people in relation to climate justice issues?
- What kind of activities can we do to counteract these assumptions?
- The resource has a number of mechanisms of change addressing short-term, mid-term and long-term outcomes.
