Opportunity for Community Groups to take part in a Good Relations Film Making Project

A film project aimed at tackling racism, sectarianism and intergenerational issues has been launched. The main objectives of the Investing in Our Future priority are to identify tomorrow’s leaders and build their capacity today and to encourage active participation within and between local communities.  The project, which aims tobuild positive relations at a local level in the Craigavon, Banbridge, Armagh, Newry & Mourne council areas, is seeking to recruit groups from across these areas to participate in the project.
The six month project led by Craigavon Borough Council through their Investing in Our Future priority, as part of the PEACE lll Southern Partnership, will commence in March and will run in conjunction with Northern Ireland’s leading film training company Giga Training.  The participants will not only have the opportunity to work with industry professionals but they will receive training, a study visit, a residential and produce films which will be shown at an event to mark the completion of the project in September.

This project has been managed by the PEACE III Southern Partnership’s Investing in Our Future priority and supported by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (PEACE III) managed by the Special EU Programmes Body
