Education Minister Peter Weir and Justice Minister Naomi Long visited the EastSide Learning STEM summer school which provides targeted educational support in the local community.

The cross-Executive funded summer school is delivering activities, to children in P5-P7, in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects around the theme ‘Keeping Safe in a Pandemic’.

The summer school is part of the Wrap programme, which is an educational support pilot programme for children and young people.

From the 6th - 16th August join EastSide Arts as they present an 11-day programme of inspiring and creative events featuring music, theatre, literature, story-telling, visual art, talks and tours under the theme, Moments of Joy.  This year’s events can be enjoyed online from the comfort of your own home, outdoors in person, or in a small number of east Belfast locations as part of a live, socially distanced audience.

As part of the EastSide Arts Festival 2020 we have launched the 'Neighbour Portraits Project' to recognise all the amazing support communities have been providing for each other. Find out more in the flyer below.

EastSide Greenways, the team responsible for managing the Connswater Community Greenway at EastSide Partnership, recently conducted a survey to determine how the open and green spaces of the Greenway have had a positive impact during lockdown. The Connswater Community Greenway has remained open throughout the Covid-19 lockdown and has proved to be a vital resource for local communities, encouraging safe connectivity and positive health and well-being.
