Young people are given the opportunity to develop their resilience and abilities through a range of activities like physical activities such as sport, activities that develop a new skill and voluntary work with them giving back to the community. On top of that the students take part in an adventure trip, usually mountaineering overnight in the Mourne Mountains.
Gaisce empowers young people, it gives them the opportunity to grow their potential through participation in the various activities. The programme gives the young people the chance to celebrate diversity, value people equally and ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity.
