IMPACT! is an exciting programme developed specifically for young people in the 16-18 age group in parish or school groups, based on the See, Judge, Act method of YCW.
The "Change Through Action" programme consists of 10 exciting sessions, each one designed to enable young people to explore an issue of concern in a fun way, debate it and plan actions to bring about change.
The educational methodology of the IMPACT! programme is based on the format of experiential learning. Through attendance at regular meetings, members are encouraged to enquire into the situations/issues that affect them on a daily basis and to plan and organise specific actions to bring about positive change. All while having fun!
