Poetry in Motion

Together with Ulster University, we launched our Poetry in Motion booklet with a series of poetry readings.  The poetry campaign encouraged passengers to share their poems celebrating the rich literary history and connections between people, places and things across the country.

Following a series of dance workshops in schools, Belfast Grand Central Station welcomed local school children from Fane Street Primary, St Josephs and Donegal Road Primary School, to enjoy a special Belfast Children's Festival Performance of Pop!, an energetic, uplifting and vibrant dance duet which encouraged the children to get up and dance too.
