Teen SpiriTers and friends - if you're between 16 - 35 years in age, then check out the Youth 2000 Summer Festival, happening in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, Aug 15 - 18. It's a super weekend, usually drawing over 1000 young people from all corners of Ireland :) great music, talks, workshops... plenty of time for chilling out and meeting very sound people! Teen SpiriT has its roots in Youth 2000 - so we really really recommend this festival! Oh! and it's donation only, so whatever you can afford to give - don't let cost be an obstacle! Free buses travelling to it from all over the country! So invite your friends along too :) http://www.youth2000.ie/events/981-youth-2000-summer-festival-cistercian-college-mount-saint-joseph-abbey-roscrea-co-tipperary-thursday-15th-sunday-18th-august-2013poster.html

Teen SpiriT Killarney was an absolute blast!! It was a real leap of faith and was a big ask of the teens and team. It was also where we needed people to stand up and be counted in their support for the project - and the teens rocked, the team excelled and a thousand people showed up to support us all. I cannot express how proud I am of everyone involved and how huge this achievement was. It ranks right up there with all the big Teen SpiriTs and is up there with TS1 for taking a leap of faith and things working out beyond our dreams. The teens were just brilliant and so powerfully energetic, brave and mature. They gave me the most beautiful scrapbook with their thoughts on the project and it will be something that will inspire me for as long as I can do this work. Working with the Killarney lads all year since september was so special and taking on this big challenge and succeeding so well has been all the sweeter. A huge thanks to all who came to support the teens and team on the night. You can share in the success. Without you the project would shrink and life would be a lot smaller. We did a song called 'I refuse' and I the lines from it 'I dont want to live like I dont care, I dont want to say another empty prayer, no I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else, to do what God has called me to do myself no I refuse, not to move I refuse' To the teens and team who have refused to leave action to someone else and have put themselves on the line for a better world - I thank God for you and I salute you!!!
