Féile’s Connect:Interact:Create programme — supported by The Executive Office’s Central Good Relations Fund — delivered a packed line-up of events across the Bogside, Bishop Street, Fountain, and Brandywell.

Over 2,000 people of all ages and backgrounds took part in creative workshops, family days, bus trips, art projects, photo exhibitions and more. These events brought people together in positive, powerful ways — celebrating difference, sharing stories, and building stronger connections between communities.

We’ve worked closely with local schools, youth clubs, community groups and venues to make it happen. Every event was about making our city a better place to live, work, study and play.

But we know there’s more to do. With ongoing tensions and recent incidents at local interfaces, the need for this kind of work is clearer than ever. Strengthening relationships and offering positive alternatives remains at the heart of what we do.

A massive thank you to all the schools, community organisations, youth clubs, venues, partners, facilitators and participants who made this programme such a success.
