Links and Resources

The Y Factor project worked with schools and youth projects across Ireland to develop and deliver discussion and learning programmes with young men and young women about equality for wowmen. During 2013 this work was in its pilot phase and we engaged with a number of youth projects and schools around the country. A toolkit to empower young people to become advocates for gender equality was producted to continue and support this work and the work of gender conscious educators and youth workers. These tools are avaiable in here in Youth Workers and Teachers for your use.  We will be providing free further training in your school or project in 2014 and 2015 to compliment  and support your use of these resources. if you are interested please contact lauram@nwci.ie.
