Unloc Online Seed2030: The Belfast Legacy Project Grant In partnership with One Young World 2024

Are you aged 14 – 25 and living in Northern Ireland? Got an idea for a community project or business that advances on one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals? If so, then keep on reading….

Seed2030: The Belfast Legacy Project! In partnership with One Young World, we are distributing 10 Micro Grants of £1000 for young people in Northern Ireland to test or develop their own business or community project that advances on one of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Seed2030 recipients will gather together in Belfast in early 2024 for a 2 day immersive Leadership Development Bootcamp, helping them to progress their own leadership skills and the progress of their project, campaign or venture.

Post the bootcamp, grantees will be connected with a mentor from the One Young World ambassador community; these mentors will support the grantee for 6 months as they get their project off the ground.  The young people will also receive continued and regular support from Unloc staff throughout the duration of the project.

To further develop your leadership journey, a handful of the recipients will get the chance to attend the One Young World Summit in Montreal in September 2024 and the opportunity to apply for Lead2030.
