<strong>The</strong> Interact Youth <strong>Arts</strong> festival <strong>is</strong> back for the fifth year running<br />
and th<strong>is</strong> time it’s bigger and better than ever before. Now on for<br />
10 Days, the extended <strong>programme</strong> for 2013 <strong>is</strong> both creative and<br />
imaginative, offering a huge range of activities for those aged<br />
12 – 21.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Youth Forum has worked extremely hard <strong>to</strong> make <strong>InterAct</strong><br />
2013 as diverse as possible. Our selected theme <strong>is</strong> ‘Cultural<br />
Crossroads’ and we’ve tried <strong>to</strong> include other cultures throughout,<br />
from the Indian ‘Holi’ throwing on Sunday <strong>to</strong> the Japanese Ponyo<br />
screening on Tuesday. We’ve also tried <strong>to</strong> include different<br />
subcultures – so whether you’re a geek or a gleek, we’ve got you<br />
covered!<br />
Many thanks <strong>to</strong> all those who have helped with the Festival – our<br />
funders and sponsors, the Millennium Forum, Kate and Emma.<br />
But most of all, thank you <strong>to</strong> the Youth Forum whose ideas have<br />
formed the <strong>programme</strong> for th<strong>is</strong> unforgettable festival.<br />
So come down and join us and see what’s buzzing!<br />

‘Cultural Crossroads’, the Youth Forum’s selected theme for the<br />
fifth annual <strong>InterAct</strong> Festival, brings two things <strong>to</strong> mind. <strong>The</strong> first,<br />
I’m ashamed <strong>to</strong> say, <strong>is</strong> Britney Spears’s regrettable 2002 foray<br />
in<strong>to</strong> road movies. <strong>The</strong> second <strong>is</strong> more interesting, and, I think,<br />
reflects the character of the festival as a whole. Put simply, it’s<br />
choices.<br />
In th<strong>is</strong> momen<strong>to</strong>us Derry-Londonderry City of Culture year,<br />
the ‘choice’ of workshops, masterclasses, gigs and screenings<br />
at <strong>InterAct</strong> has never been greater. Expanded <strong>to</strong> 10 days <strong>to</strong><br />
accommodate our amazing acts, <strong>InterAct</strong> <strong>is</strong> delighted <strong>to</strong> welcome<br />
new partners <strong>Arts</strong> Ekta, the National Youth Orchestra, the Fresh<br />
Academy of Performing <strong>Arts</strong>, Magee Core and Hanger 18. Combined<br />
with our tried and tested ‘festival favourites’ (like Bounce’s DJ<br />
School and Janeen Whiteside’s pho<strong>to</strong>graphy), we are sure the<br />
sheer range of activities <strong>available</strong> – from gaming at the ‘Geek<br />
Night’ <strong>to</strong> singing with Fra Fee – will make for the most memorable<br />
festival yet.<br />
Choice, though, means something else <strong>to</strong> myself and the Youth<br />
Forum – the choice <strong>to</strong> engage. Paul Nolan’s latest Northern Ir<strong>is</strong>h<br />
Peace Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Report has noted that whilst young people with<br />
d<strong>is</strong>posable income have embraced a neutral, cosmopolitan arts<br />
scene, for those without these means, arts and culture represent<br />
‘just another form of social exclusion’. <strong>The</strong> 12 – 21 year olds<br />
that work closely with the Millennium Forum <strong>to</strong> create <strong>InterAct</strong><br />
want everyone <strong>to</strong> be included. That’s why all our workshops and<br />
masterclasses are FREE, that’s why we have such a broad choice<br />
of events, and that’s why we’re here, year in, year out.<br />
So get stuck in. You’ve got a choice.<br />
Engage, participate, interact, and most importantly, enjoy!<br />
