Our Generation
Our Generation
The OUR Generation Project aims to promote positive relations, characterised by respect, and creating a place where cultural diversity is celebrated and people can live, learn, and socialise together, free from prejudice, hate and intolerance.
The Project will build peace through emotional resilience by engaging children &young people and their key contacts in activities which build emotional resilience and improve good relations in the 5 Urban Village Areas, the border region of Ireland and the border areas of NI through over 56,000 interventions targeted to reach 36,000 unique participants.
The total children and young people interventions in 2021 for YouthAction NI are 1119.
The five Urban Villages areas are:
• Ardoyne and Greater Ballysillan (North Belfast)
• Colin (West Belfast)
• EastSide (East Belfast)
• Sandy Row, Donegall Pass and the Markets areas (South Belfast)
• The Bogside, Fountain and Bishop Street (Derry~Londonderry)
Throughout 2021, YouthAction offered a variety of programmes to young people and their key contacts as part of the OUR Generation Project. The organisation has taken a flexible approach to the delivery of programmes that focuses on matching the needs of young people and their key contacts to its core resources. To meet the needs of young people, YouthAction has delivered LIFEMAPS, PALS, Turn the Light On and Hunger Games for Peace.
Collectively, this offering addresses issues pertaining to mental fitness, peer support, healthy relationships, sexual education, and peacebuilding. In relation to supporting key
contacts, YouthAction has offered training on its Agenda for Peace, LIFEMAPS and PALS models. These training opportunities centre on heightening key contacts understandings of peacebuilding and developing their awareness of models aiming to embed positive mental
fitness and strong peer support networks amongst young people.
Our Generation has been funded by the EU’s PEACE IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) to the value of €4.7m. Match-funding for this project has been provided byThe Executive Office in Northern Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development in Ireland.
