Newcomer Programmes

WheelWorks has a special interest in ensuring that newcomers and minority groups are offered meaningful opportunities to engage with creativity as it is an asset for supporting trauma, anxiety, and isolation. This programming strand works flexibly with different groups crossing good relations, personal development, and wellbeing themes.

Global societies are changing, and Northern Ireland is no different. Our newcomer programmes are designed to empower and connect people through arts and technology-led projects, amplifying voices of diversity.

‘It’s important that we all play our part to embrace the changing landscape of NI, listen to needs, and offer activities that improve inclusion and meaningful participation. This is just one of the steps for developing better integration, which will increase societal wellbeing.’
