The Young Social Innovators competition is for young people aged 13 to 18 years old.

A team of students from Ballymahon Vocational School have won a national award at the Young Social Innovators competition this week.

A project called "Slo Burn" put forward by the students took the overall prize in the Climate Action Category.

The Young Social Innovators scheme focuses on empowering Ireland's young people to reimagine the world and the communities they live in, by developing and implementing ideas that help create a fairer, more equal and sustainable world.
