First Youth Led Anti Racist Summit Held in Cork
CORK’S youth have taken the lead in organising the first youth-led anti-racism summit which brings together young people with lived experience of racism, activists and others working in solidarity to make Cork an actively anti-racist city and county
The Youth Led Anti Racist Summit is a collaboration through Cork Children and Young People’s services Committee Anti Racist Subgroup, with the Cork Migrant centre and The Traveller Visibility Group.
Policy makers, politicians and organisations were invited to engage in a dialogue with young people about the impacts of racism and to be part of a conversation for tackling racism in Cork and Ireland.
Through a series of creative media including spoken word, music, and drama, those participating in the Summitt had the opportunity to listen to young people’s stories, to raise their awareness of the realities of racism on young people and to be part of a shared discussion on how to collaborate on strategies for creating an anti- racist society.
We are in the process of reflecting on the Summit with the young people and will be identifying Actions as a follow on from the Summit

How to support your child's social and emotional well-being. To view the 6 Parent Action Leaflets please click here
Cork’s CYPSC Supporting Parents Subgroup has made a series of Parent Action Leaflets because we understand that supporting children’s social and emotional well-being can bring its own challenges. We suggest 6 Parent Actions with simple advice for each stage of your child’s social and emotional development to help you both on your journey together.
These were developed following a consultation with parents across the Cork area, please click here to view the consultation document.

Children and Young Peoples Plan (CYPP)
Cork CYPSC has a three-year strategic plan which runs for the period 2019 to 2021 and was developed following extensive research, consultation and analysis, which resulted in the identification of issues, challenges and solution pathways. Covid-19 is having a major impact on the lives of children, young people and their families. Cork CYPSC will aim to address the emerging needs being identified by adapting our 3 year action plan with a focus on social and emotional wellbeing.
