Coordinated by Ballyhoura Development in partnership with Friar’s Gate Theatre and TASC, the project was co-designed with the participants, using participatory drama techniques to build confidence, foster self-expression and develop problem-solving and social skills. Building Bridges was supported by ongoing action research and activities included character development, metaphor work and collaborative storytelling, enabling young people to share experiences on top

Over 24 months, the project engaged 20 young Travellers and workshops were supported through SICAP to maintain engagement. The final phase featured performances, including an Inner Dialogue event attended by key stakeholders, and the production of a short documentary.
