Youth Worker Training Programme We are working with the ETB and Cork Sports Partnership to put together a series of training opportunities for youth workers across the city. This will allow youth workers to upskill themselves with a particular focus on activities that are
safe to run under Level 3 and 4 of the Governments Resilience and Recovery plan. The first training session ran on the 29 th of January and was fully booked. It was based on Orienteering and showed youth workers how to read maps, set out courses and lead an orienteering session for varying levels of ability. There will also be five comprehensive packs housed in Cork E TB’s offices where youth workers can go and check them out to use with their groups. There is an added bonus to this programme for us as it will promote the use of Cork City Council parks across the city.
Fitbit Online Programme We received funding from the ETB to buy a set of FitBits. These will be used to run a programme with youth groups where young people will learn how to track their step count, heart rate and sleep scores. There will also be daily challenges and weekly Zoom classes where participants can log their results on a leader board anonymously with an over all amount being tallied for the group. They will work against other youth groups across the city to see which group can make the biggest improvement in their scores.
