Description

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Art: Recovery to Discovery. This project is an adult focused, mental health, community arts programme with the aim of building stronger community relations in shared spaces and places which have the potential to become more shared. It will utilise the active engagement in Community Arts as a vehicle to introducing marginalised isolated adults from all backgrounds to new and welcoming shared spaces. Those spaces must include a key focus on the Ballyarnett geographical area. The programme of arts workshops will develop new skills and interests and forge new friendships, whilst building peace and bringing communities together in a post Covid/conflict era. The programme will aim to support participants and communities to build friendships, benefit from peace and celebrate cultural diversity together. The programme will use a range of different community arts practices. These may include, for example visual arts, painting, drawing, photography, crafts, dance, music, drama, film, creative writing or any other relevant art form. Participants will work in cross-community groups to develop new friendships and new skills. The programme must be delivered in a suitable venue(s) allowing participants from all communities to come together within a creative environment. The programme should include opportunity for participants to learn about and use cultural expression to directly challenge stereotypes, prejudice, or any aspects which have led to divisions within and/or between communities and identities. Arising from the Co-design process in the Ballyarnett District Electoral Area (DEA), this project should strive to bring key benefit to that area as well as reaching out to participants from other areas to bring relevant cross-community engagement and participation. The project is also welcome to engage cross-border and it is noted that this DEA is directly adjacent to Donegal. This project is under the Thriving and Peaceful Communities Theme. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.

T24-134BUS PEACEPLUS The Exodus Project

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for a PeacePlus The Exodus project. This tender is for a project researching and sharing the recent history of the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist identities in Londonderry (from the outbreak of ‘The Troubles’ to present day with a specific focus on ‘The Exodus’ / migration of the Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist community from the west bank of the city / cityside) within context of the wider history of the era and the area and on a cross-community basis. The principles of Shared and Ethical Remembrance should be applied in this project. It will engage 200 participants (mainly adults, from diverse community, voluntary and educational organisations) from within Derry City and Strabane District council area, border counties and other parts of Northern Ireland. There are a range of elements in the project including academic research, video production, community engagement and a publication. The more specialist areas (academic research, video production and publication) will involve small numbers of participants. Some of these may be victims/survivors and/or sharing personal testimony/oral history. Sensitivity will therefore be required. On the broader Community Engagement element, participants will have little previous knowledge of area, so project will broaden awareness, challenge perceptions and expand sense of shared space. Arising from the Co-design process in the Moor District Electoral Area (DEA), this project should strive to bring key benefit to that area as well as engaging more widely with relevant audiences. Through the Co-Design process it was highlighted that the Protestant or Unionist community feel that their story’/ perspective from Troubles era is under-represented and relatively unknown. The ‘Exodus’ of Protestants from the Cityside of Derry~Londonderry is sometimes contested. Prof. N. Gilmartin (Trinity College) estimated ‘up to 10,000 Protestants’ (90 percent of PUL population) left due to fear and/or intimidation over approximately 4 years in 1970’s. Conflicting views cite 400 – 14000. Causes were various and cumulative. The results are physically noted in empty/re-purposed Protestant Church buildings in Moor and Foyleside DEA’s. Trauma and inter-generational trauma is evident speaking with those most directly impacted so sensitivity will be required. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.

T24-120BUS PEACEPLUS Street Art Reimaging

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Street Art Reimaging. This project is a reimaging programme using non-political, cultural graffiti art (or similar styles).

It will include approximately 1 year of programming and participants will primarily be young people. It will expand the ‘Street Art’ tradition in Derry~Londonderry, seeking inspiration from other places such as Cork, Waterford, Belfast and Dublin where street art has a growing culture. Arising from the Co-design process in the Moor District Electoral Area (DEA), this project should strive to bring key benefit to that area. This project is under the Community Regeneration and Transformation Theme. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
