Maynooth University | 28 July – 1 August

The Foróige Leadership for Life Conference is back! Over 300 young people from across Ireland and the US are coming together for a week that’s all about confidence, connection and leadership.

This year’s conference is packed with inspiring guest speakers, creative workshops, and real conversations about the issues that matter most to young people today – like mental health, climate action, identity, and leading with empathy.

You’ll spend the week living on campus at Maynooth University, meeting new people, building your leadership skills, and having serious craic along the way. It’s more than a programme – it’s an experience that’ll stay with you for life.

Speakers this year include:

• Dr. Niamh Shaw – space communicator, scientist, and advocate for dreaming big
• Luke Casserly – theatre maker and Foróige alum, sharing his creative journey
• Peter Cosgrove – expert on leadership, resilience, and the future of work

Whether you’re new to leadership or already making change in your community, this is your space to grow, reflect, and step into your power.
