Smashing Times received funding to run four workshops to develop and deliver the Equality Ambassador Peer Leadership Training programme suitable for young people from diverse communities. The programme uses creative processes to promote awareness raising and skills development for young people, training them to become Equality Ambassadors so they can go on to become leaders in society, promoting human rights, equality, diversity and LGBTIQ+ rights within the wider community.
We delivered training to four youth groups in schools and third level education:
St Paul’s CBS North Brunswick Street, Dublin 7
Stratford College co-educational School 1 Zion Road, Rathgar Dublin 6
TU Dublin Conservatory of Music and Drama, Rathmines, Dublin 6
Objectives
- To deliver the Equality Ambassador Peer Leadership Training programme suitable for young people from diverse communities with three schools and one third level institution.
- To deliver the Equality Ambassador Peer Leadership Training programme that engenders in young people a belief in human rights, empowerment and active citizenship and a respect for shared social justice values including gender equality, human dignity, diversity, LGBTIQ+ rights and respect for all.
- To foster the inclusion and employability of young people from marginalised communities by providing them with training and support services for building confidence, self-esteem, leadership and social skills, and to create an opportunity for young people to learn new skills and leadership skills through drama workshops and other creative mediums in a safe environment.
