Activities booked, permission forms signed Exchange House Youth Service is ready to start its summer projects.

This year we visited many places that were outdoors as well as some extremely interesting and educational sites. Some of the activities included:
Exchange House strives to provide activities that are fun based and educational. The summer programmes provide opportunities for the young people to explore different topics as well as to have fun with their peers. During the programme the young people visited places which provided them with an insight into history, the environment, politics, personal development and wellbeing.
In total the Summer Projects ran over a six week period catering for young people aged 6-17 from: Labre Park and Kylemore Grove, Greater Ballyfermot area, St Margaret’s Park and Carton Estate, Greater Ballymun area and St. Oliver’s Park and Bridgeview, Clondalkin. This year 140 young people engaged in the summer programmes.
In addition to our programme, this year incorporated a four day residential trip with 11 young people to Glendalough. The projects were a huge success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.The popular attractions this year were: the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle, the historic site of the rock of Dunmase, the floral beauty of the Botanic Gardens and the fun facts of Dublin and sailing through the Liffey on the Viking Splash tour.
