Summary

To empower 10 young people from a Northern Irish background and 10 young people from a Polish background, from the same housing estate, to discuss and research social and personal issues facing young people in the area. They will proceed to plan, advertise, set up and follow through a Drop-In Centre, with three sections: an Internet Cafe, providing food from various cultures, a sports hall, and a room providing information on counselling for young people with social or personal issues. This will be a safe place in the estate at weekends, where young people of all cultures can come together.

Anything that helps improve the living conditions and bring mixed cultures together especially in N.Ireland with its troubled background can only be commended and more schemes like this should be encouraged and praised at all times. Well Done.
