Community Development & Youth Work
Profile
Do you want to work in partnership with people in groups and communities who experience disadvantage and oppression, and work towards social change in Irish society and abroad? Our mission is to educate and train future community development and youth workers to work in a range of settings in Ireland and internationally so that they can become active citizens and agents of change. The program promotes principles of inclusion, human rights, equality, and social justice, working towards sustainable development, and tackling issues such as inequality, climate change, poverty, and disadvantage. Year 4 subjects include combatting racism, youth justice, and global development, and you can specialize in areas such as social policy, sustainable development, community mental health, management skills, alcohol, and drug prevention strategies, and conflict resolution. The course has a strong element of experiential learning and includes fieldwork placements.
