ROUND THE BENDS workshop at Flax

Flax has been very active in directing innovative community outreach projects. These have included the JIGSAW Project which worked with a consortium of local groups and youth providers based in North Belfast with the aim of giving young people in the area the chance to make a positive impact on their immediate area through the arts.

JIGSAW was followed in 2006 by Project Musketeer, collaboration with Cliftonville Community Centre and Newington Resident’s association. Information on our 2008 project ROUND THE BENDS can found at www.bebo.com/roundthebends
