Outreach Programme

The Heritage Lottery Funded Outreach Programme ran from May 2002 until December 2005. The Northern Ireland Screen Outreach Officer and Education Development Officer delivered themed presentations based on the content of the Northern Ireland Screen's Digital Film Archive.

The programme was so popular that Northern Ireland Screen is continuing to deliver presentations to groups, but on a smaller scale. if you are a community group, historical association, school or anyone else who is interested please contact Emma Thorpe on 02890 268 575 or email education@northernirelandscreen.co.uk to discuss.
