Transition Year students from St Brendan's College in Killarney, have been working together over the past few months to spread awareness and build support around the theme ‘violence in young men’.

Their project has been entered into the 21/22 Young Social Innovators (YSI) competition.

The main focus of this topic is violence, particularly in young males, and the dangers of how ‘One Punch Can Kill’, which is their campaign slogan.

“We plan on organising various events in the upcoming year to raise awareness for this very relevant issue, starting with a visit from An Garda Síochána in January and an anti-violence week,” TY student Nathan Cox said.

“Please follow our journey on our Instagram page: ‘Semagainstviolence’."
