ALIVE in Conversation with the UN Youth Delegates for Ireland
Thursday 3rd December 5pm
Zoom – all welcome!
Tara Grace Connolly from Belfast, and Conn McCarrick from Dublin, have been selected as Ireland’s UN Youth Delegates for 2020-2021.Throughout the this year, they will work closely with the National Youth Council of Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Ireland’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations. They will have the opportunity to represent the young people of Ireland at a number of UN events, and to engage with young people across Ireland about foreign policy issues.
Our workshop with Tara and Conn will allow NUI Galway students to learn more about the Youth Delegate Role, what the inside of the UN looks like, how policy is making an impact, and share passions for projects affecting all our lives. As Ireland prepares to take its seat on the UN Security Council in January 2021, how do we connect the local to the global?
