Side By Side
New Belfast's Disability Access programme
The Side by Side project focuses primarily on individuals with a disability and groups marginalised through physical and intellectual challenges. It works in parallel with all other New Belfast projects through sensitive, high quality workshops: Masque, This is Me, Trash Fashion, Belfast Wheel, Poetry in Motion and Mural Fest.
Each Side by Side Project provides the opportunity for a real encounter between groups of differing abilities, previously separated by preconceptions relating to disability, age or background. These workshops are designed to provide the maximum inclusion, communication and peer education through the arts.
Side by Side offers a safe, creative space for groups to challenge such differences by focusing on a shared experience of creating art in a professionally facilitated workshop. Section 75 groups are welcome to explore new artistic and interpersonal horizons in a fun, productive and sensitive environment.
