Welcome to the Participation section.

- Public Achievement [NI]
Public Achievement believes that young people have an enormous amount to contribute toward the building of a more just, peaceful and democratic society. They also recognise that there are many adults who want to work co-creately with young people to make this happen. The core of our work is supporting small groups of young people - and adult volunteer ‘coaches’ who work with them - in addressing issues that are important and around which they design, carry out and evaluate their own projects.
