Sightsavers Ireland

"Your voice matters." 💬🌍

That was just one of the messages shared by young people at Global Solidarity Hub – Youth for Action on Saturday!

Young people from across Ireland came together at TU Dublin for a day of inspiring conversations, creativity, connection, and collective action, exploring issues from climate justice and human rights to disability inclusion, equality, and global solidarity.

From thought-provoking discussions and interactive workshops to music, performances, and powerful messages of hope, the day was a reminder of what can happen when young people from different backgrounds come together, share their perspectives and learn from one another.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their experiences and helped make the day so special 💛

Youth for Action was organised by the Global Solidarity Hub, a collaboration between Sightsavers Ireland, GOAL, and Trócaire, in partnership with Black and Irish. The event was facilitated by the National Youth Council of Ireland.

This event is recognised as an Associated Event of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026.

Supported by Dóchas, the EU Presidency Citizen Engagement Sub-Grant, and Irish Aid.
