THE work of the North West Migrants Forum will feature as part of a popular RTÉ Radio 1 programme set to air this Sunday morning.
Writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods spent time exploring Derry recently for The Country Measure.
He uncovered arts, history, heritage, sport and through a chat with the North West Migrants Forum, the city’s diverse communities.
During his time here at the Forum he interviewed our Chief Executive Lilian Seenoi Barr, our Welfare and Integration Officer Gaelle Gormley and one of our volunteers, Nasreen Sheikhmohammed.
Ahead of Sunday’s broadcast, host Vincent said, “The new-old energy of Derry, the emerging stories and hard lines of history, recent history, are all part of what make this city and county so vibrant and utterly uniquely itself. New voices are emerging, new, confident, questing voices in the arts and music.”
The County Measure: Derry will be broadcast this Sunday August 25 at 10am on RTÉ Radio 1. The series previously visited counties including Antrim, Donegal, Mayo and Tyrone. You can listen back to the series on www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/the-county-measure
If you can’t tune in on Sunday, the episode featuring ourselves will be available as a podcast shortly afterwards. We’ll keep you posted!
