SDLP: Putting Our Youth First by Charlie Goan

Politics. Many young people are disillusioned with the idea of politics. "Its just a bunch of people fighting and rioting over flags , parades and the past". Well its much more than that. Its about Health, Education, Housing, Policing and the Economy to only name a few issues. As the youth of today we are the future. The future doctors, teachers , police officers and politicians.

We need to shape our future by increasing our political activity from an early age. If the young people of today decide not to get involved in politics then who will run our country in the future? The SDLP Youth have a lot to offer the people of the Derg DEA and the Strabane District. The SDLP Youth believe in the support of the Irish Language , Student Safety, The Scraping of Tuition Fees and the "One President, One Island" Campaign.

I understand people may be frightened by "Going against the grain" and participating in something seen as uncool or boring but politics can open so many different doors to the youth of today.


It can build confidence amongst the youth and can widen the perspectives of young people. So please feel free to contact the Strabane SDLP Youth or the Derg SDLP where we will be only happy to talk to you about what we can offer YOU as an organisation.
