Northern Ireland is brimming with creative, passionate people
committed to building a stronger, more prosperous society. But
how can we harness that creativity to grow a movement for
change?
Book your place at this FREE event on Monday 22 June to help
answer that question. You will be joining over 150 people from
every walk of life across Northern Ireland including major funders,
public agencies and leading experts in social innovation.
We will also be launching our major report on narratives of social
transformation across Northern Ireland.
This event is the culmination of the first seven months of work
through the Amplify Northern Ireland programme, delivered by the
Young Foundation and funded by the Building Change Trust.
Explore, create, network, support…

5. The Exhibition
Explore the narratives of
inequality in NI and help create
an exhibition to show the future
Over four hours we will be creating an exhibition to show how
Northern Ireland can be transformed for the better.
Be inspired by the nine narratives of life, inequality and change that
have emerged from the hundreds of conversations we have had with
people across Belfast, Derry-Londonderry and Enniskillen.
Then roll up your sleeves and get creative to help produce an
exhibition that maps out how we can build on these narratives to
transform Northern Ireland for the better.
Dip in for half an hour or bring your favourite creative tools and
spend the whole afternoon helping to create visions of a better NI.
