FETAC Certificates celebration

On Wednesday 24th of March 2010 I was invited to join the celebration of the delivery of the FETAC Certificates. FETAC is a one-year course of Youth Work and give to the participants the main knowledge, skills and abilities to work as a youthworker. Some of the workers in The Reco and Aisling Project where there to recieve the Certificate. The event was exciting. In the first moment, I didn't know too much about the FETAC, who did the course, how important it was for the participants, etc.

However, the event make me aware about what the FETAC is and how important it is. I think it's important to mention that the lordmeyer of Dublin cames to present the event and delivery the Certificates to the students.

Laurence, the training worker in BRYR, who organised the structure and all the stuff because the FETAC was developed in The Reco, was the first to give us a speech. She was glad and happy because that day had finally arrived and she was also thankful to the students for their participation.

Prunchase and Denise, two of the participants were the next ones to speak. For me was the most interesting words of the night. They emphasised the skills, abilities and changes that the training had given to themselves. They were exciting to have been in that moment and as well very thankful to BRYR, the trainers, and everyone who made that posible.

Finally, the Lordmeyer gave us some words talking about the importance of the youthwork and the youthworkers in the community.
