Work on an outreach project up in Ardoyne - young people from the YEHA Project to design a room for their drop in centre. It involves creating soft furnishings - cushions, etc painting the room.

Tree Swing for Ormeau Park
Project Proposal
I propose for a tree swing to be installed in Ormeau Park on behalf of Ballynafeigh Community and be made accessible at all publics. I have chosen three specific sites, one of which to be decided on.
The tree swing will not situated within a playground, which is a defined environment for children and by doing that it acts as an invitation to different generations and creates a catalyst for storytelling.
A cross section will be targeted and invited to participate. They are Journeys women’s group, a youth group (aged between 11-14 and mixed) and elders at the local nursing home. 10-15 people will be accepted in the project. This mixed consultative group is formed to develop community cohesion by having them negotiating throughout the process and building the individual and collective sense of ownership.
Two creative workshops will be facilitated in order to access the community’s desires and requirements of the tree swing; the form of which will be negotiated. My goal for this project is to stimulate childhood experiences and to provide a trans-generational engagement.
The site will be prepared appropriately and all safety measure will be put in place with maintenance and inspection being high on my agenda. The budget included presentations, workshops, design and production costs, artist fees, transport, installation, maintenance, inspection, advertisement and publicity including a publication of a 16-page flipbook.
