Last weekend, Carndonagh Foróige Club travelled to Dublin to attend the Foróige Youth Citizenship Award ceremony, in partnership with Aldi, where the club was presented the silver award in the senior category.
The silver award is a fantastic achievement for the club as Carndonagh First Year’s Foróige is a new club and this is their first year attending the awards.
Their project was called “A Fairtrade and Sustainable Development Awareness Project”.
The team worked very hard on putting together various activities and events to promote awareness for the cause.
They also took part in a video called “SDGs & You”, which will be released soon.
They researched the Fairtrade market & SDGs (sustainable development goals), ran a Fairtrade coffee morning & bake sale during Fairtrade Fortnight, and on a national level encouraged businesses and Foróige Clubs to take part in the “World Fairtrade Coffee Challenge”.
The club has applied for Fairtrade status under the community title and are currently awaiting certification.
The club was delighted to win silver and had a very enjoyable day at the awards.
