Youth Bank Radio Documentary

YouthBank is a unique way of involving young people in grant-making within their local community.

The funding distributed by these decision-making committees supports projects designed and run by young people that address issues and concerns relevant to them and their community.

YouthBank is not just about giving out grants, it is a personal development programme, which will build young people’s self-esteem and confidence and provide them with an opportunity to learn new skills in leadership, team-work, decision-making, problem-solving, communication, empathy development, negotiation, report-writing, presentation skills, event management, interview skills and lots, lots more

I caught up with a number of Youthbank facilitators in Dublin a while back to discuss Youthbank and its benefits to young people in Ireland as well as across the globe.

Georgia McGovern – The “Taylor Effect”

The incredible achievements of Ireland’s Katie Taylor have until now been judged mainly from a sporting perspective.

A bag full of medals attained off the back of European, World and Olympic conquering exploits, Taylor dragged women’s boxing single-handily to world prominence.

Aside from her outstanding pugilistic achievements, the Bray superstar has punched a hole through Irelands long held gender norms, with the product of the “Taylor Effect” evident in boxing gyms across Ireland.

One such example of Ireland’s new wave of fighting females is current Irish Champion Georgia McGovern.
