The hosting of the event, management and attractions has all been developed through the young people under guidance from project partners, Cooperation Ireland, Active Communities Network, local community stakeholders and Craigavon Borough Council.

It enables the young leaders to continue on their own personal development journeys through interaction with residents, community and local business, while undertaking and developing event planning, marketing and communications skills.

The North Lurgan Young Leaders programme is the platform for them to challenge themselves and how they progress in life, to raise aspirations and broaden their horizons both locally and nationally. This programme is their opportunity to promote the positive role young people can play in Northern Ireland.

The community festival is the next phase of this journey and everyone is welcome to attend.
