The YAP National Event

Our Senior Youth Engagement and Participation Coordinator, Aoife, and Youth Council member, Andrea, attended the YAP Ireland national event in Croke Park in August.

Andrea delivered speech on behalf of the EPIC Youth Council on the theme #SpaceToBeMe.

“If I could give advice to my younger self – or to any young person out there – it would be this: Never, ever shut up. If you’re angry about something, write it down, speak out, and turn that anger into action. Your voice is powerful, and it deserves to be heard. Thank you, and remember – you are all EPIC!”

Well done, Andrea! 👏
