It's been a privilege to engage over 5,000 people through Making the Future programmes and to give space for participants to have their voices heard. 😊 You can read more about all of our activity on our website. makingthefuture.eu/news

Following the introduction of lockdown restrictions, the programme continued to deliver high quality opportunities for participants to engage online. @UlsterMuseum's New Parameters project created a photographic archive of the first months of Covid. 👉 bit.ly/3mgMI35
