This year Radio Kerry is partnering with youth groups around the county to celebrate and promote the range of activities and pursuits available to young people in Kerry, particularly in areas outside of sport, and encourage and inspire both young people and adults to participate in local opportunities. The groups involved in the project are: Kerry Comhairle na nÓg KCYS Youth Advisory Council Jigsaw Youth Advisory Panel Kerry ETB Students Council
Our latest episode is focusing on youth music, where we learn all about how the young people of Kerry are expressing themselves through music.
We head from Deirdre Johnson, coordinator of the Kerry branch of Music Generation, who discusses their ethos of making music accessible to all young people, regardless of location or income, as well as tutor Ronan Murphy. We hear the experience of service users Unai Corr and Joseph Gozito. Finally, we hear the story of Neil Moore Ryan, a self taught musician who has used music to express herself emotionally and creatively following an autism diagnosis at 17.
This episode of the Youth Voice series was co-produced by Joseph Gozito, Keira Griffin and Neil Moore Ryan.
The Youth Voice Series is brought to you by Radio Kerry and Funded by Comisiun na Méan with the television licence fee
