Youthpod Ireland

Welcome back to YouthPod Ireland. A thorny subject this week as UNICEF releases the findings of a worldwide study into safety, peer violence and bullying in schools. Nearly half the Irish teens surveyed reported that they had felt threatened or unsafe in school and we want to know why this is and how we begin to stop it. Alarmingly, nearly 700 million children of a school going age, live in countries where corporal punishment in schools is not illegal. There are some very strong opinions at the table in this one as our full cast of regular podcasters return for an episode that is not only close to home but relevant to all young people, across the country and indeed the world. Get involved by emailing us at youth18@gmail.com and across all of our social media platforms. Enjoy!
