To mark Good Relations Week and this year’s theme of ‘Include’, Bangor Carnegie Library will celebrate the diverse voices and experiences that make up our local community.

Working with local community groups, the library will share the stories of people who have come from around the world to make Bangor their home. Contributors will reflect on their experiences of coming to Bangor, what they value about life here, what they miss or remember about the places they came from, and what makes somewhere feel like home.

Stories will be featured in a special display at Bangor Carnegie Library, with selected contributions also shared through Libraries NI’s North Down and Ards social media channels throughout Good Relations Week.

The project aims to create opportunities for different voices to be heard, encourage understanding between communities, and celebrate Bangor as a place shaped by people from many different backgrounds.

Come along and hear from three emerging storytellers Michael, Morgan and Tim. All three work as Visitor Guides at Ulster Folk Museum in Cultra. Recently, they completed an accredited storytelling course with renowned storytellers Liz Weir and Stephen O’Hara and they’re now excited to share some of their stories with us. Come and support these new voices in storytelling and enjoy an afternoon of great stories.

Our lives can feel busy with endless to-do lists and demands, or heavy with loss and the state of the world. Poetry has the power to acknowledge loss and still make room for hope, to hold grief and still allow for joy. Take some time to let yourself breathe and to discover ‘pockets of joy’ in this poetry workshop with multi-award-winning poet, Stephanie Conn. We will look at the work of established writers as a spring-board for our own writing. Stephanie will gently guide us through a range of engaging and inspiring prompts in an encouraging environment. 

No previous experience required.
