Let's Talk Project Worker

The Let's Talk project is aimed at young people aged 16-24 years old who are disadvantaged, excluded or marginalised across rural and urban areas of the Derry City Strabane District Council areas and the border counties of Donegal. The project will provide meaningful, cross-community, intercultural and cross-border programmes. It will embed the core elements of personal development, good relations, citizenship and positive progression. The programme will embody a diverse range of young people who can connect, share and learn their journey together including targeted participation from the LGBTQ+ community, young people with disabilities, BAME communities and those impacted most by segregation in education and housing. It will place needs, views and aspirations of the young people at the heart of the project and develop an active, inclusive culture. It should build young people’s capacity to see themselves as active citizens and leaders who can make a vital contribution to society.

Overall the project aims to empower young people, regardless of their background, to think critically, engage actively in their communities, promote positive social change, and contribute to a more cohesive and inclusive society.
