Making Pride happen across our communities
Foróige Pride 2026 brings together the work already happening across Foróige to support LGBTQI+ young people.
Every year, Foróige Clubs, projects and teams mark Pride in their own way. This year, we’re creating a shared moment to connect that work, make it more visible, and support even more parts of the organisation to get involved.
Pride in youth work is about visibility, belonging and community. It’s about creating spaces where young people feel seen, supported and able to take part in a way that suits them.
Across Ireland, Foróige Pride will take shape in different ways. Some will run events. Some will take part in local Pride celebrations. Others will focus on conversations, creativity or simply making their space feel more open and inclusive.
We’ll be sharing and highlighting Pride activity from across Foróige throughout the summer, helping to build a national picture of what’s happening and celebrating the work as it unfolds.
Together, these moments show what Pride looks like in Foróige.
How to Get Involved
Plan your Pride activity at a time that works for your club or project
Pride takes place across the summer, so you can link in with local events or choose a date that suits your group
Run your activity in a way that fits your space and your young people
This could be something small within your space, a conversation or session, a creative activity, or taking part in a local Pride event
Share what you do and help make Foróige Pride visible
Post your activity online using @foroige and #ForóigePride
Plan Your Foróige Pride
To help you organise and promote your activity, we’ve created a set of downloadable materials:
- Printable poster – to advertise your Pride activity locally
- Foróige Pride logo disc – to use to show your pride in print or on social
- Digital media graphics – to share and promote your activity online
- Printable bunting – to design, cut and hang in your space
- Printable flags – to design, cut and hang in your space
- Stickers – how to guide
- Conversation guides and support materials (coming soon!) – to support staff in leading sessions and navigating discussions
These resources are designed to make it easy to take part in Foróige Pride in a way that works for your project.
Need Balloons?
We’ve created Foróige Pride balloons for everyone to decorate their spaces.
Request a set and we’ll arrange to send them out.
They’re a simple way to bring colour and visibility into your space and mark Pride locally.
Share Your Pride
Foróige Pride is about visibility, and part of that is sharing what’s happening across the organisation.
Capture the atmosphere of your activity through photos or short videos and share them on social media. Tag @foroige so your work can be seen and shared nationally.
Before posting, let young people know that photos or videos may be taken so anyone who would prefer not to be included can opt out.
After your activity, consider sharing a short post to reflect on what took place and acknowledge the young people, volunteers and staff involved.
Every post helps show what Pride looks like in Foróige spaces.
