Circus Together

In Your Space Circus will use the medium of circus to work with four schools/youth groups to explore how global issues can be influenced at
the local level and to see how young people from different parts of the North West can collaborate to find solutions to the issues that face all of us.

IYSC is based in Derry and is the Northwest’s leading Circus and Street Theatre Company. They are responsible for such amazement as; Carnival of Colours, the Wonder Windows in Derry/Londonderry (you might have seen at Christmas) and many of the crazy circus characters, shows and installations you see across N.I.

Repair Cafe Foyle

Repair Café Foyle is part of a growing movement tackling the waste generation crisis.

Our friendly pop-up events are aimed to reconnect people with their stuff and creating space for dialogue about overconsumption and the right to repair.

Our team of volunteers are at hand to have a ‘wee go’ at fixing just about anything from bikes to lamps and toasters.

Diverting waste from landfill or incineration has never been more important as we re-evaluate our impact on the planet.

With our textile experts from the Fashion and Textile Centre and Bike team from Life Cycles, we are confident that we can find a solution. If we can’t fix it, we will signpost you to a specialist.

With the increased cost of living, communities can become more resilient by reconsidering our relationship with stuff!

We can’t wait to meet you all!

WHY NOW?

“Each year, the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on the 21st September. The General Assembly of the United Nations has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.” (www.un.org/en/events/peaceday/)

In an ever more divided society, where inhumane conflicts and crises are unfolding before our eyes, we may feel powerless. But… could power be found by exploring what it means to be “HUMAN”? Could this understanding help strengthen the unity of vision and action of our fractured society?

SYNOPSIS

“HUMAN is a collection of stories, offering a reflection on what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN brings us face to face with the other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are – our darker side, but also what is most noble in us and what is universal.

HUMAN is a politically engaged work which allows us to embrace the human condition and to reflect on the meaning of our existence.”
