Caring For Our Shared Home

This is a closed event for participating youth groups.
Following a successful pilot event in West Belfast at last year’s festival, youth groups from across Belfast will gather in the East of the city in February 2025. By undertaking environmental clean-up activities on Connswater Community Greenway (CCG), they will contribute to the conservation of our outdoor spaces.

CCG is a 9km linear park stretching along the Connswater, Knock and Loop Rivers. It is a fabulous asset to the East, offering pedestrians and cyclists a safe route in and through green spaces where wildlife and vegetation thrive. Sadly, there is always litter to pick up, so the help of this young team will be much appreciated.

Learning about the significance of this shared space, young people will work together to tidy the area through activities such as gardening, litter picking and graffiti removal, contributing to an improved experience for those using the Greenway. The event will conclude with food and friendship building. This is a closed event for participating youth groups.
