Today key threats continue to impact the life chances of many young people in N Ireland & Border Counties. The fragility of the peace process has increased, as paramilitarism remains a threat & tensions continue (Nolan, 2014). Increasingly triggers such as, flags, emblems, parades, protests, heighten community tension & anti-social behaviour (CC&G GR Strategy 2014/17) & there are ongoing legacy issues in border counties (Cavan P&R Action Plan, 2011/13). Coupled with high unemployment of 18-24 year olds 15% (DfE, 2016) and 17% in border region (CSO QNHS data, 2016); this creates a lethal cocktail for young people in highly deprived target areas. Through uniting diverse organisations & young people across communities, key partners Springboard, Roe Valley Residents Association & Cavan Monaghan ETB with locally rooted associate partners from Belfast, Limavady & Cavan/Monaghan, aim to deliver Journeys, an innovative cross-community/cross-border initiative. Between 2017-2021 the programme will work with 1016 young people aged 14-24 years, who are disadvantaged, excluded or marginalised, have deep social and emotional needs, & are at risk of becoming involved in anti-social behaviour, violence or dissident activity. Partners will ensure programme interventions are responsive to need & contribute to defined outputs of 1016 completing approved programmes that develop soft skills & respect for diversity: Ignite & DEFINE: working up to 7 months with 424 14-17 year olds, targets a younger age group ‘in transition’ to adulthood & open to generational/contextual influences & at-risk of anti-social behaviour. Gamechanger & DEFINE: working up to 7 months with 184 young people, including looked after children, have high emotional/social needs, vulnerable to manipulation & negative influences. Gener8: a 7-month youth-led programme & Options a 6-month programme, working with 200 young people at risk of isolation due to social & emotional issues & at risk/actively involved in legacy issues, including those impacted by trans-generational trauma. Fusion: a 7-month prog, with 104 young people from marching community & Xceler8: a 6-month programme working with 104 young people with potential leadership capacity. Journeys will also contribute to outputs of 1016 young people completing baseline assessments/individual development plans, 70% of 664 attaining an OCN Level II qualification & 80% completing Journeys. Focusing on outcome areas of personal development, good relations & citizenship each programme will offer responsive ‘tools for change’, leading to 70% increase in personal & social capabilities & increased wellbeing, increased engagement & appreciation of people of diverse backgrounds/circumstance & greater understanding of citizenship and ability to engage positively with family, community & society. Critically the programme will contribute to specific results of the programme, as Journeys aims to a 10% increase of 16 year olds who; socialise/play sport with people from a different religious community; who think relations between Protestants & Catholics are better than they were in five years ago; think relations between Protestants and Catholics will be better in five years’ time. Embedded is programme principles, a person-centred ethos, participants experiences/needs/interest and culture of co-design; Journeys will offer responsive, varied tools for change including issue based workshops on outcome areas; themed workshops eg music/symbolism reflected in Easter Rising/Somme, speakers & masterclasses, adventure learning to establish/reinforce group dynamic, Pay it Forward showcase to share learning, accredited qualifications & service activity to provide bonding opportunities. Activities will bring about positive change across outcome areas, with programmes over 6-7 months & between 3-4 days/week; venue choices will also accelerate pace of change as participants expand their comfort zone. Programmes will be led by experienced & qualified staff & accomplished organisations eg average retention rate of 82%. Journeys will also have a meaningful, ongoing & change focused contact between young people cross border, with shared activities eg Journeys Camp; marching bands workshops, peer-led good relations sessions, all underpinned by a proven pedagogical good relations approach. Aligned to the prevailing strategic policy & context, Journeys’ additionally is reflected in the entirety of its approach. The collective assets of the partnership, design of tailored responses & delivery of cross-cutting activities to reinforce learning & underpin a sense of belonging & interdependence, bring opportunities for significant impacts that can be synergised into communities. Journeys also has high complementarity as need/demand exceeds current provision. This is echoed by local associate partners, who see the initiative as needed & complementary to existing provision. Selected through a robust options analysis, Journeys also maximises partner (English)
