<\/a><\/p>\nThe delegation travelled to Wijhe in the Netherlands to take part in the European Youth Rise Up Against Poverty gathering<\/strong>. The experience was educational and inspirational for all involved. Youth groups from eight European countries were represented at the gathering.<\/p>\n Three members of our delegation travelled to Wijhe four days early to assist in the preparation week where their duties ranged from cooking and cleaning to pitching military tents. We were very proud of Gavin Uzel who was handed the responsibility of officially welcoming all participating groups to Wijhe during the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n Over the course of the three day event the Irish delegation participated in a range of interesting creative workshops and discussions.<\/p>\n Furthermore the delegation facilitated two workshops. On three occasions we ran an Introduction to GAA<\/i> workshop which aimed at giving an introduction to Gaelic Football and Hurling while also highlighting the importance of the cultural and community dynamic within the GAA. This workshop was a lot of fun and hilariously brought out the competitive side of many participants.<\/p>\n The LeaveNoOne<\/i> behind workshop was also a lot of fun and very successful in highlighting the 17 UN global goals for 2030 while also discussing what it really means to leave no one behind.<\/p>\n Thankfully the whole experience was documented through daily vlogs which you can see on the Youtube Djynamo Channel<\/a>. Enjoy! One of the video is presented here:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
