Our Story
Crosslinks is a cross-community, cross-cultural, arts-based youth project that seeks to break down barriers and address misconceptions pertaining to race, faith, culture, and tradition.
​
Using creative arts, Crosslinks provides the opportunity for friendships to develop and peer learning to take place that may not happen otherwise. It aims to enable the youth participants to become agents of change within their communities by exploring good relations issues in a safe, positive, relational environment and in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
The programme trains and equips young people to champion good relations in their communities and aims to increase their confidence in addressing hate crime and celebrating diversity.
In partnership, Youth Initiatives and Diverse Youth participants come together from across the city to take part in drama, dance, singing, and art workshops. Exploring good relations themes, these workshops culminate in the original production of the theatrical performance every year, which they perform to friends, family, funders, and the wider community.
