Well, I
would just like to say...
( a collection of opinions
from some of the participants from the various Programmes )
"Hey folks,
Thomas
here to
say a few words about the cross border project. What can I say other than it
was fantastic. With activities like team building, web design, day trips and
information sessions, you can’t go wrong. It was a great opportunity to meet
new people, learn new skills and basically have a good time. Some say that
there is nothing for young people to do in this city, but this project is
proof that there is plenty to do and you don’t even have to spend a penny to
take part. I would recommend it to anyone who is unemployed with too much
time on their hands".
"Really good - glad I took part
and would recommend it to others!"
Brenda
"Hi! My
name is Stephen and I thought
the Cross Border
project was brilliant. During
the 17 weeks it helped me make new friends from
'down south' and
I particularly enjoyed going paint-balling, and
also the go-karting during the residential.
I would recommend this programme to
anyone that is looking to learn new stuff and enjoy a bit of fun".
"My name is
Janice
and I was in the Cross Border Project between February - May 2004. I
really enjoyed the paint-balling and the other outdoor activities the most.
I now hope to return to education in the very near future!"
"I thought that the Project was really good - a good mix of ICT, personal
development and outdoor activities. When's the next one!?!?"
Charmaine
"Hey people what’s going on?
Ruth
here, yes that's
right - the one and only!
Just wanted to say a few
words about the cross border group. I
personally got a lot out of it.
I think the group achieved what it set
out to do - get another Border Bytes newsletter on the news-stand and
get the website up and running.
If I had the opportunity,
I would do it again. Doing this project can
give you the opportunity to meet new people for
north and south of the border. If
u r given the opportunity, you should
do the project. Do it - it
is worth it!".
"My name is Chipper! I really enjoyed the project because we got to
shoot the leaders and everyone else during the paint-balling!
Seriously though, I think that this project has been a big success.
The project has inspired me to look at working with computers and young
people. I would love to be able to take young people away on outings
and residentials. I would like to get young people to meet up and make
new friends - just like I did when I had the opportunity in this project".

"Absolutely fantastic - I had a
wonderful time. Well worthwhile and something positive and
constructive for the youth of Inishowen, and Derry - of course!"
Neil
"Great craic, great fun - but
also a very core educational dimension to it all. A great bunch of
people involved, a good range of topics and activities and there was also
the web page skills. Well worth a crack at!"
Phil
"I thought the Project was
excellent and hope to help out in future programmes. Very worthwhile
and I would recommend it to anyone. It had the lot - IT skills,
Personal Development, Outdoor Activities and of course the residential!"
Martyn
"Excellent altogther -
interesting and a fun!"
