Aims and Objectives

The Nerve Centre is a training and production centre working in digital media and supporting creative cultural engagements across Northern Ireland. We seek to support the development of the creative industries in Northern Ireland, provide production and opportunities for digital media practitioners and showcase talent through the Foyle Film Festival and our live performance venue. We also operate the Creative Learning Centre which has a core function to support the development of new curriculum and informal learning opportunities using digital media and promoting digital literacy across Northern Ireland.

Projects and Activities

We have a large range of projects but in the CR field these include www.diversityonline.org – NI’s first accredited online cultural diversity training programme; The Symbols Interactive Experience; A wide range of bespoke resource development or enhancement (What Made Now in Northern Ireland?; Am I Prepared to Give You What I Want for Myself?; The Story of the Apprentice Boys; Whatever you say, say nothing). We also deliver a range of identity based training using digital media skills to facilitate learning around sectarianism and identity in NI.
