YOuC.A.N. is a joint venture between Boomerang and The Playhouse Derry. It is a cross border, cross community Youth Culture Arts Network that promotes partnerships between arts and youth organisations and and works towards developing creative and innovative projects to facilitate cross-border communication between young people.
YouC.A.N.'s focus areas are Ireland, UK and Europe and it looks at the effects of conflict and community polarisation on these geographical locations.
This project is funded by the European Union under the Peace II programme and part financed by the UK and Irish governments. One of the projects undertaken by YouC.A.N. is the provision of a networking conference for organisations working with young people using the arts.
YouC.A.N. is currently working with Boomerang on ‘Secrets' an online photography project involving international training opportunities for young participants aged 16+ from north and South in an exploration of the theme of ‘Secrets'. |
