Are you planning activities or events for older or family audiences in the coming months?
|
Donegal County Council & Derry City and Strabane District Council are looking to do coping out of planned activity aimed at older people and family audiences from May onwards.
We know planning is extremely difficult but we’re keen to get a sense of what you might be hoping to deliver.
Together we are planning to pull together programmes which highlight and promote older people and family activity across the North West.
We aim to include every-day activity on offer as well as one off events and initiatives. It is hoped that there would be a range of activity which would see audiences move around to try something new.
It would be great if you could give us a flavour of anything you will or might be planning to do. Some outline detail would be great, you can get us on artsandculture@derrystrabane.com Many thanks
