Over 150 Cork youths including Roisin Cotter, Gaelcholaiste Choilm Ballincollig, were honoured at a presentation at the Cork Training Centre for their participation in the We are Cork Youth Challenge, a Cork Education and Training Board initiative devised to help students hone their creative skills and talents during the pandemic through a series of fun virtual challenges and tasks. Modelled on the Gaisce award, young people chose their challenges from a series of positive activities including music, sport, and active citizenship within their communities. Recently elected Lord Mayor of Cork City Cllr. Colm Kelleher was on hand to present the awards to students, and he said the challenge had created a brilliant opportunity for young people in Cork to express themselves and explore their creative talents and abilities during a difficult year. pic Jim Coughlan
