FÉILE/CORK LIFELONG LEARNING <strong>FESTIVAL</strong><br />
A THRIVING FRIENDSHIP<br />
The twinning of the two festivals was celebrated in March when the Lord Mayor of Cork invited Belfast’s Lord Mayor to join him in<br />
launching the 9th Cork Lifelong Learning Festival. In May a mural inspired by the Tit<strong>an</strong>ic was painted on Horg<strong>an</strong>’s Quay in Cork by<br />
a group of young unemployed men, half from Tar Isteach in North Belfast, the others from Cork’s Mahon Community<br />
Development Project, working with Fr<strong>an</strong>k Quigley <strong>an</strong>d Michael Doherty of the Belfast Artists Collective. In 2011 the Mahon Men’s<br />
Art Group also worked with artists from the Collective to create a mural next to Blackrock Castle in Cork during the Lifelong<br />
Learning Festival. That group were guests during the last <strong>Féile</strong>: their legacy - a mural on Northumberl<strong>an</strong>d Street, which features<br />
Cork’s coat of arms, <strong>an</strong>d sporting legends Christy Ring & Roy Ke<strong>an</strong>e. Four youth leaders from Belfast & Lisburn travelled to Cork in<br />
April, learning how to build & row currachs with Meitheal Mara, the traditional boat builders – skills they are passing on to their<br />
young people. This follows on the success of last year, when two youth groups were involved in a cross-community boat building<br />
project in Cork <strong>an</strong>d Belfast. The finished currachs were launched by the Mayor of Lisburn during <strong>Féile</strong> last August. Over the June<br />
B<strong>an</strong>k Holiday weekend, a team of young people brought their currach back to Cork to take part in the <strong>an</strong>nual Oce<strong>an</strong> to City rowing<br />
race – <strong>an</strong>d won the Youth category. <strong>Féile</strong> was also represented at Cork City Marathon with four walkers led by Kevin Morrison<br />
taking part. A Cork team took part in Belfast City Marathon; <strong>an</strong>d it is hoped to build on these sporting links, as well as continue<br />
other projects. Cork’s participation in these activities is supported by Cork City Council <strong>an</strong>d Co-operation Irel<strong>an</strong>d’s Cork br<strong>an</strong>ch.<br />
