| Lough Views Book Launch Press Release |
| LOUGH VIEWS A Children�s Anthology of Poetry, Art and Drama Edited by Adrian Rice |
| This year�s project involved nine P6 classes from nine primary schools taken from the Newtownabbey, North Down and Carrickfergus Council areas: Newtownabbey Borough Council Whitehouse PS Glengormley Integrated PS St. James� PS North Down Borough Council St. Malachy�s PS Bangor Central Integrated PS Towerview PS Carrickfergus Borough Council Carrickfergus Central PS Acorn Integrated PS St. Nicholas PS |
Loughshore visits and Lagan boat trips were arranged which provided the children with much stimulation for their work. Having accompanied the children on their trips, the project coordinator and poet Adrian Rice, artists Phil O�Hanlon and Helen Crossey, and the dramatist/director Molly Freeman, then paid several visits to each school to help the pupils convert their Loughshore experiences into verbal, visual and dramatic form. The very best of that work now appears in Lough Views. The launch of Lough Views will take place in the Main Hall of the University of Ulster, Jordanstown, on Friday 10th October 2003 at 7pm for 7:30pm. It promises to be a memorable evening, with guest speakers, poetry readings, scripted poetry performances and a short drama presentation. (The evening will also celebrate the launch of the website for this Belfast Lough Sea and Shore Environmental/Arts Project: www.geocities.com/loughproject) Refreshments will be served. The evening will conclude with a presentation of complimentary copies of Lough Views to all teachers and children involved in this unique project. |
