Development Education Program - Exploring Diversity Through Music

"Poverty is not having the ability to participate"

In 2008 & 2009 the Department for International Development financially supported a 'Development Education through Music Program' facilitated by Beyond Skin. The program was coordinated in a partnership between the two charities 'Beyond Skin' & 'Children in Crossfire' using artists from the Motion Project.

A successful pilot scheme was facilitated at St. Columbanus, Bangor in 2007.
