Foróige Clubs are reopening in towns and cities across Ireland every single day.
Are you looking for a safe, enjoyable place for young people to hang out, meet new friends, get involved in activities and have a voice?
Foróige Clubs are for young people and run by young people.
By giving LGBTI+ young people the opportunity to identify themselves as leaders and changemakers they can influence and shape their environment to ensure they, and other LGBTI+ young people, are visible and feel included at all levels of their community, regardless of where they live. We want them to feel like they have a voice and can use this voice to make a difference and ensure they feel safe and supported to do so. By giving young people the opportunity to develop these important skills and by creating supportive environments, they can make a real difference.
According to a study in Ireland, over 92% of 8-12 year olds surveyed own a smart device, while 82% of those with a smart device said they have a social media account or message app account. As more young people use smart devices for school, entertainment, socialising and even study, they can be exposed to more risks online. However, young people in Foróige have demonstrated their ability to be digital leaders throughout the pandemic.
The Foróige Future-Proof Climate Justice Conference took place on Saturday 13 November.
Foróige's ECOllective spoke to experts and young people on the theme of modern living and sustainable lifestyles.
