The Palestinian Paintings, a series of works started in 2017 to address the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

Newcomer Video Series

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council are the first council in Northern Ireland, in developing a series of videos for newcomer communities to our Borough.

The Community Development & Good Relations team have been working with The Law Centre to produce a total of 32 videos in 12 different languages, including English, which provide advice around public recourse/funds.

For anyone coming to the Borough who may not speak English but require access to support services this can be a very daunting and difficult time.

The Council are leading the way in this bespoke series of videos to ensure everyone has an immediate understanding of what their entitlements are in respect to health services, education, housing and benefits.

Avoid the First Cut

Recently, the Jethro Centre has been working with a small group of community practitioners to host, develop and co-design a short series of creative, interactive workshops for those who work in communities that are struggling with knife crime.

The format of these workshops is still a “work in progress” so with this in mind, if you are a community practitioner working in this context, you are invited to attend a wider circle of practitioners to engage in this this developmental space and process as part of GRW’22.

Spaces are limited, so contact Carole Kane on carole.kane@jethrocentre.org or call the Jethro Centre on 082 38325673.
