Time Capsule

6th August 2020

Members of our Youth Engagement Projects have been busy putting together a collection of photos documenting their personal experiences of lockdown: from time spent with family (including furry friends) to catching up on studies, to celebrating birthdays and everything in between.

The collection of images will be sealed away as a ‘time capsule’ – allowing the young people to look back on these times in the future.

DU Dance Challenge – All Challenges!

Over 12 weeks we produced a series of fun social media challenges to encourage everyone to keep dancing during lockdown. The project included a number of artists that have been, or are currently, involved in our work – artists from Austria, England, Ethiopia, Northern Ireland, Palestine & USA.

Don’t worry if you missed out the first time around – below you will find links to all of the challenges!

This project was made possible thanks to funding from the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
