We were thrilled to officially launch our PEACEPLUS project 'Creating Creatives' in Derry~Londonderry on Monday 18th November in St Columb’s Park House.

 

It was a fun evening of art, great conversation and an incredible music performance from the newly established Derry Rock Choir. We were delighted to meet The Mayor of Derry City & Strabane District Council, who took part in the fun tote bag making workshop by Fuse Arts and sang along with the Rock Choir!

​As part of this project, MayWe will deliver a series of cross border and cross community workshops, targeting a total of 136 participants. The project will feature four key elements; Creative Community Development for young adults resulting in an accredited qualification, Creative Writing and Visual Arts with cross community participation, Cross border Arts and Health programme working with individuals who have survived stroke or a traumatic brain injury, and the formation of an intergenerational Cross Community Rock Choir based in the Waterside area. The project will conclude with a final showcase performance from the Rock Choir, allowing participants to express themselves through music and collaboration.

 

This exciting project will involve the facilitation of creative cross border workshops with organisations, charities and youth groups across the Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) area and Donegal.
