‘View From Here’ has been produced to provide a disability awareness educational resource for
young people. The purpose of this resource is to raise awareness among students and teachers
of the simple steps they can take, the attitudes they can choose and the decisions they can make
that will improve how young people with disabilities are treated.

Around the country
IWA has youth programmes and clubs at IWA centres around the country. Active youth clubs now exist in locations such as Wexford, Mullingar, Tullamore, Limerick, Manorcunningham, Kilkenny and Dublin. In Cork, a joint initiative to provide services for youth groups has been undertaken by IWA, involving the MS Society and Enable Ireland. Each year, youth camps (social and developmental holidays) are held at locations such as Cuisle Holiday Centre.
Links
IWA's youth services have links with Foroige, the national youth organisation, at regional level, with strong partnerships established in Cork and Dublin. IWA also places representatives on National Youth Council of Ireland working groups addressing the issues of equality and discrimination.
