Dear friends and colleagues,
|
In partnership with the British Council and supported by the UK Mission to the EU and the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the EU, we are pleased to host ‘Lives Entwined: Shifting Borders, Shifting Identity’. Join us on 24 November to hear readings from Northern Ireland authors Ian Marshall and Susan McKay followed by a live Q&A and panel discussion.

In addition to our online event, this week’s Newsletter showcases Northern Ireland’s film, literature and food. The 33rd Annual Foyle Film Festival takes place digitally this weekend, as does the C.S. Lewis Festival which features a number of virtual events. For some mid-week cooking inspiration, check out the Northern Ireland Rural Women’s Network cookery demonstrations.

We hope that you and your family are keeping well as we continue to bring you the best of Northern Ireland culture, art, tourism and entertainment.
