The Bank of Ideas - Info and Idea Generating at The Duncairn

Information and idea generating session for the Bank of Ideas, a fund for creative community projects decided by public vote!
About this Event

Join us at The Bank of Ideas - information and idea generating session at The Duncairn!

We'll support you to develop your idea for a creative project in Belfast with up to £2000 of funding.

The Bank of Ideas is run through participatory budgeting, which means residents decide how public funds are used. You can propose your idea for funding and the people of Belfast vote for projects they want to support at a voting event in City Hall.

At this workshop you'll get all the info you need for the Bank of Ideas - what it is, how to send in your idea and potential to connect with others for resource sharing, collaboration and feedback on your idea.

We'll also help you think about how to present your idea at a stall during the voting day event.

The Bank of Ideas is open to individuals, small groups like neighbours, friends, residents, and constituted groups too.

The scheme is open for you to send in your idea from Wednesday 26th March until Wednesday 14th May at 5pm.
