Education Minister Peter Weir and Justice Minister Naomi Long visited the EastSide Learning STEM summer school which provides targeted educational support in the local community.

The cross-Executive funded summer school is delivering activities, to children in P5-P7, in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects around the theme ‘Keeping Safe in a Pandemic’.

The summer school is part of the Wrap programme, which is an educational support pilot programme for children and young people.

From the 6th - 16th August join EastSide Arts as they present an 11-day programme of inspiring and creative events featuring music, theatre, literature, story-telling, visual art, talks and tours under the theme, Moments of Joy.  This year’s events can be enjoyed online from the comfort of your own home, outdoors in person, or in a small number of east Belfast locations as part of a live, socially distanced audience.

EastSide Greenways, the team responsible for managing the Connswater Community Greenway at EastSide Partnership, recently conducted a survey to determine how the open and green spaces of the Greenway have had a positive impact during lockdown. The Connswater Community Greenway has remained open throughout the Covid-19 lockdown and has proved to be a vital resource for local communities, encouraging safe connectivity and positive health and well-being.
