We all have a role in facilitating peace personally, locally, and globally! by Aoileann Conway (YMCA Ireland)

  


Name: Aoileann Conway

Where I live: N. Ireland

Profession: Community Youth Work (Ulster University graduate)

Age: 24

Interesting fact: I live for the outdoors and a good cup of tea!



m-power is a youth project that is in nine YMCA’s and one YWCA and delivered in 10 locations across the isle of Ireland. The youth project is supported by the European Union’s PEACE IV program and naturally concerns itself with building, promoting, and facilitating peace. The three core pillars in which the project is based are good relations, personal development, and citizenship.

Each program is delivered by qualified, professional youth workers in a non-formal, youth work setting. It offers qualifications, new experiences, adventure, outdoor pursuits, sports, difficult discussions, and a time to reflect.

Each program has the same foundation, yet no two are the same as they are rooted in meeting the needs of individual young people to support their growth and personal development.

I deliver the youth project across two neighboring towns and multiple communities. As a team we have offered new experiences, accredited qualifications, built meaningful relationships, and delivered purposeful programs to 150 young people. It has been a highlight of my youth work career to support young people in the exploration of their identity, culture, and walk with them through key moments of Ireland’s historic troubles.

Together we have broken down barriers, challenged discrimination, and promoted acceptance of diversity and as a result, young people have developed socially with finding their place of belonging within their communities and thriving personally, building relationships where they never have before.

The 21st September 2020 marks International Day of Peace. I share my experience with you to acknowledge peace today and serve a gentle reminder that wherever or whoever you are, we all have a role in facilitating peace personally, locally, and globally!

Pa ty, nuk do të mund t'i merrja paratë prej tij. E nxora në gjyq, por i dhanë shumë kohë për të paguar borxhin, por faleminderit që e bëtë ta shlyejë atë në një kohë të shkurtër.

Përshëndetje, jam Olt Vrella nga Peja. Vijoj mësimet në Gjimnazi "Bedri Pejani", dhe gjatë kohës së lirë lexoj dhe dal për të ecur nëpër natyrë. Një gjë që më ka interesuar gjithmonë është mënyra se si të tjerët kujdesen për shëndetin mendor. E kur dëgjova që do të mbahej kampi "Headspace", që si temë ishte Shëndeti Mendor, unë pa hezituar aplikova që të isha pjesë. Para se të fillonte kampi unë mendoja se çdo njeri kujdesej për shëndetin mendor në një mënyrë pothuajse të njejtë. Por gjatë tre ditëve të këtij kampi unë mësova shumë gjëra. Pjesëmarrësit/et e këtij kampi mësuan se çfarë do të thotë shëndeti mendor e si ndikon shoqëria në të, por edhe disa metoda për të mbajtur shëndetin mendor sa më mirë.  Disa aktivitete që unë mendoj që janë të rëndësishme janë aktivitetet që kanë si thelb punën në grup, që ndihmojn që pjesmarrësit/et të kuptojn se shëndetin mendor mund ta përmirësojn edhe me ndihmën e të tjerëve. Pasi që përfundoj ky kamp unë kuptova që përmirësimi

The door is always open by Valentina

I’m Valentina and I am a youth worker at the  YMCA in my city- Peja and this is my story… ValentinaMurati I was always a very hard-working person and very empathic I always loved helping people that is why I chose Social Work as my study field and from a very young age I got the chance to participate in different NGO’s as a volunteer so my love for being able to help people change started from a very young age and still grows. After being a semester abroad and then coming back here without any idea what to do after my graduation, and for me as an very active person it was really hard. I got stuck between a lot of applications, always searching for the right one. One of my friends who was a volunteer in this NGO called YMCA  shared some posts about what they do and I started thinking what would I do if I was there too?  And  there it was! A job application, while I was reading it, I thought  I would love to be part of this family so I’m really going to try. After I applied I

The right to participate in decision-making processes by Njomza

I’m Njomza. I'm 15 years old and I'm from Gjakova. Njomza Bytyqi I've heard from many friends about the YMCA and they suggest me to be part of the YMCA. I participated in the ‘’mYcommunity’’ program where we discussed Democracy, Prejudice, Volunteering, Stereotypes and many other topics. During this time in this program, the topic which I have liked the most was about Prejudice and Stereotypes. In my opinion, prejudices are unnecessary. In everyday life, we should not use them because we must love everyone as they are without changing anything to them because we do not like them. Njomza while reading for her group We, the whole group, have participated in the assembly meeting of the Municipality of Gjakova, which was held together with the Mayor and the citizens. There we learned that we as citizens have the right to participate in decision-making processes, to complain about issues that concern us, such as hospitals, parking lots, traffic lights, taxation, et
