National Organiser Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire has this to say 'The conference has at its aim to bring together various strands of opinion from the Trade unions, political parties, and youth organisations, to explore the issues surrounding youth unemployment, and to examine what needs to be done, socially, politically, and economically to combat youth unemployment.'
The conference will open with a discussion on what the reality is for the young unemployed in Ireland in 2010. This will be followed by a selection of workshops on Job Creation, on Trade unionism, and on 'Creating a vocal lobby for young people'. These talks will include speakers from organisations such as the INOU, TASC, the Union of Students in Ireland, the National Youth Council, and more. It will be concluded by a Youth political Debate between Ógra Shinn Féin, Labour Youth and Socialist youth, on 'Creating a political alternative', and a closing address.
Calling for young republicans to mobilise for it he added ' This conference promises to be an extremely interesting and thought provoking event, and will hopefully provide an impetus for a real discussion and what we as a society need to do, both to create jobs, and to create a political alternative. It should be a fascinating event, and I would encourage anyone with an interest in the rights of young people and in progressive politics to attend.'
Full details and clár will be posted shortly.
