Community-21 – a series of conversations reflecting on community work over Covid-19, funded by the Community Relations Council‘s Media Grant Scheme.
AvilaMedia wants to thank you for coming along with on this journey to see how Northern Ireland’s grassroots have responded to and supported their communities during this difficult time. We want to thank the Community Relations Council for making this project possible.
Most importantly, we hope that over this series we’ve been able to prove that every day, ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference, and that Northern Ireland more than has what it takes to respond to crises, together. We have seen murals going up in both major communities in support of the NHS. We have seen newcomers banding together to represent the needs and rights of asylum seekers, refugees and other migrant communities. We have witnessed, across the board, that whatever differences that we perceive we have pale in comparison to what can be achieved when we band together. Our hope is that the comradery that has been fostered over this time long outlasts Covid and serves as the silver lining of this difficult time that will help NI flourish in the years moving forward.
There’s much more to come from AvilaMedia in 2022, so stay tuned for more. Enjoy your holidays, stay safe and we’ll see you out in the community soon!!!
