Tender for PeacePlus Culture Club

Descriptions

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Culture Club. This tender is aimed at inclusion of the elderly rural community located in the Derg District Electoral Area (DEA) and potentially in the immediate cross-border area. It will consist of a series of weekly, cross-community, lunchtime cultural, musical and historical workshops over approximately 18 months. The project will develop friendships and cross community relationships, serving the community well, helping to alleviate tensions between the communities and making a contribution to lasting peace and reconciliation. The Culture Club will offer a shared and inclusive programme of activities in a safe environment where participants can come together, enjoy each other’s company, share a meal and engage in good relations activities. The project links with the Social Wellbeing pillar of Derg Growth Plan. It also aims to expand use of shared space and to increase social cohesion on a cross-community basis in an area (and with a generation) which was badly impacted by the ‘Troubles’. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
