Group Description
Beyond Skin develop, manage and facilitate many activities and projects throughout Ireland; some short term and some long term.
Three of the biggest resources Beyond Skin has developed are…
• The Motion Project – Northern Ireland’s largest multicultural music collective using music as a tool for cultural learning and exchange.
• Homely Planet Radio – Internet Radio Network focusing on cultural education, exchange and world music.
• Beyond Skin Global, an initiative developed in 2009/10 linking global development issues to local race relations.
• World Music NI – World Music NI is a partnership social initiative Beyond Skin & Derry based charity, SEEDS. WMNI aims to use music to explore diversity and promote the world music sector through the development of projects, festivals & networks. WMNI is a resource of musicians and bands within the world/roots/traditional music sector.
Although we operate with the usual tight governance procedures of most charities, we are very unique. More of global family than an organisation, a social force rather than a brand and most of all a dynamic team of individuals that form part of a wider global movement to promote peace and equality for all.
