Let Youth Point Us in the Right Direction

As decisions are taken on how to address Youth Employment in Ireland and Europe, Young People want to be part of the solution not the problem. The National Youth Council of Ireland in Partnership with the Youth Affairs Unit of OMCYA are hosting a consultation with young people on Youth Employment and Social Inclusion in preparation for the European Conference on the issue.

Where: The Irish Aid Centre O’Connell Street, Dublin.

When: Saturday 27^th March 2010. 10.30-3.30

Who: Young people and Youth Workers over 18yrs.  We especially want to hear the experience of young people finding it difficult to access employment.

Cost: Free.  Travel expenses (public transport only) will be reimbursed and lunch will be provided.

Application Process: Booking Required, before Friday 19^th March. Application Forms available at international@nyci.ie

The results of this event will become part of the dialogue between young people and policy makers at a National and European level.  Participants from this consultation will represent Ireland at the EU Presidency Youth Conference in Spain on Youth Employment.

The Dublin Hub invites you to join us for the next step in the evolution of our – your – workspace.
We are gathering on site to put flesh onto bones, and ideas onto space. We will apply our collective design flair and great ideas to map out a space that will be appealing to work in, will spark our creative powers, will feel comfortable and welcoming, and will communicate a relaxed but professional air of confidence. We want a cool space to work in; attractive and inspiring, well suited to sharing experiences, knowledge and
conversations.

The Hub experience comes from a blending of people, place and purpose. At its heart, the Dublin Hub is about doing business differently, and better. We are not just thinking outside the box, we are redesigning the box, and that’s the point of the evening. We’re going to explore how an open space can be partitioned into potential meeting areas, a kitchen or canteen area, the main hot desk area, and whatever other thoughts we have (library, quiet area, chatting and chillout area, silent disco…).

We hope to grow as a convivial, collaborative community that’s conducive to creative thinking and cooperative working; one that will offer compelling opportunities to foster new business alliances, engage in virtual teams and develop meaningful and productive connections. We’re aiming for a flexible and responsive workspace designed by its members to meet their requirements and realities and leave room for their dreams.

Where is this space? Fumbally Annex, Fumbally Court, Fumbally Lane, Dublin 8, just off New Road / Clanbrassil Street. It’s on Thursday 17th September, starting at 6.30 pm and finishing round 9. Parking is free from 6.30 pm, just round the corner.

Please RSVP, feel free to bring along some others, and in the spirit of community, bring something to eat and some more to share.

As we like to say in the Hub community, you’re invited…

To make this happen, we’re building a community of socially and environmentally aware innovators, inventors, explorers and designers of the future, a network of entrepreneurs for the planet. People who share our vision of a better managed, better resourced, better quality world for all; people who are willing to share their ideas, experiences and knowledge to create that world.  If you want to be a part of a community challenging the way we work today, email membership [at] hubdublin [dot] com.

We believe that working needs to adapt to a world that is changing rapidly and unpredictably, that working achieves more when we work with our surroundings rather than despite or against. We believe that working needs to fit into our lives, not the other way round. We encourage collaboration, cooperation, community; we foster knowledge sharing and the fruitful exchange of ideas and experiences. We want to show that working can be creative, productive, and imaginative without sacrificing or squandering natural resources or social interaction.

The Hub movement is now worldwide, and the concept is spreading quickly. This website will set out our core values and beliefs, our thoughts and our hopes, what’s happening and who’s making it happen. We welcome your insights and comments.
