This year, Polish Association NI has sought to broaden the scope and ambition of the festival by joining forces with other eastern European countries to create a larger festival: Fabrika - Festival of Eastern Europe. The countries involved include Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic,.

Northern Ireland has welcomed many migrants from these countries over the last number of years - migrants who have come here to work, to study, to play, to live - basically those same things that all humans seek to do whether Irish, British, Estonian or Czech. And so Fabrika aims to celebrate these common traits and aspirations of our fellow humans and our fellow Europeans. And it will do this in a week-long festival of cultural and community-based events celebrating our diversity and commonality as Europeans. The festival also aims to give something back to the local community by way of a thank-you for welcoming migrants here so warmly. Fabrika - Festival of Eastern Europe 2010 takes place from Sunday 1 August - Sat 7 August, in and around Belfast. Visit www.fabrikafestival.com

Fabrika Festival in association with Basketball NI and PeacePlayers International wishes to invite basketball players from all over Northern Ireland to take part in the Fabrika Streetball Jam 2010.
