| Provision of Services to facilitate Give it a Swirl - The Sligo World Festival of Everything – under Theme 3 - Celebrating Cultures and Diversity as part of Sligo's PEACEPLUS LCPAP |
Sligo County Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Contractor to develop, facilitate, and implement a thirty month programme of activities, Give It a Swirl – the Sligo World Festival of Everything is a ground-breaking and ambitious project designed to harness the rich potential of cultural expression - music, song, dance, drama, fashion, food, crafts, etc. - to bring together people from diverse backgrounds. This programme is aimed at promoting peace, inclusion, and cultural diversity through creative and community-led activities. The project seeks to actively engage the public in trying out elements of different culture, e.g., sean-nós singing or African drumming; try on a sari or taste a seaweed salad. The project strategically links strands of this PEACEPLUS Action Plan. Participants will share their skills, knowledge and experience, and stories with others. The project connects different cultural communities in Sligo and beyond. It requires cooperation, understanding, and cross community interaction by actively involving diverse groups and promoting understanding via shared experiences. PEACEPLUS values and goals are delicately woven throughout the Sligo World Festival of Everything, resulting in a colourful tapestry of intercommunity connections and cross-cultural learning. The Sligo PEACEPLUS Co-designed Local Community Peace Action Plan (henceforth, the Plan) was developed through an 18-month co-design process in support of application to the Special EU Programme Body for European funding under PEACEPLUS Investment Area 1.1., open only to local authorities in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland. The PEACEPLUS programme is designed to support peace and prosperity and build upon the work of the previous PEACE and INTERREG Programmes. https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/prepareViewCfTWS.do?resourceId=6104289 |
