Youth, climate change and human rights – ‘Dakota’ Animation
Climate change threatens the effective enjoyment of our human rights in Northern Ireland. That is the message that carries through two animated films produced as part of a collaborative project between the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission and Queen’s University Belfast. MA Broadcast students led projects to create two animations, ‘Nia’ and ‘Dakota’ that explore climate change from a youth perspective and through a human rights lens.

Cathedral Community Association Street Party

The Cathedral Community Street party aims to bring the community residents together by working together to achieve a shared vision – a street party!
Working together towards a common goal improves relations between all residents – young and old and people of different beliefs and backgrounds and promotes an inclusive community.
The street party cultivates a sense of pride in community whilst empowering residents to take responsibility and ownership of their community. It also provides them with a sense of leadership and educational opportunities and promotes emotional health and well-being.
