The Our City, Our Story, Our Future Project runs in partnership with North West Regional College and explores Good Relations through multimedia.
Our City, Our story, our future (13-17 Year olds)
Our City, Our Story, Our Future, empowered young people to develop leadership, citizenship, and peacebuilding skills while building confidence and life skills. Participants explored diverse perspectives and shared their city's story, linking it to Northern Ireland's peace journey.
Key activities included:
- A youth steering group fostering leadership and ambassadorial roles
- Study visits to Stormont and local museums
- Ethical storytelling workshops
- Level 1 OCN in Creative Arts & Digital Technologies
Supported by The Northern Ireland Executive, Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) and Central Good Relations Fund
Social Action Project
This year for their social action project the OCOS group have decided to develop a series of recorded interviews highlighting the wide diversity Derry/Londonderry has to offer. The interviews explore the stories of Muslims, PSNI, Working Mothers, LGBTQIA+, Disabled people, Men’s Mental Health, Older People, and Young People. These groups were chosen by the young people as important diverse groups, and a representative of each group were invited to an interview.
Full length interviews will be published in due course but for now please enjoy the Trailer for this year’s social action project.
