On Monday 10th March Ulidia Integrated College proudly hosted an Afghan Cultural event in collaboration with Beyond Skin. Students from Y9 and 10 who had been chosen for their excellent credit totals, behaviour and commitment to music...
Thank you to @ClaireHanna @PutneyFleur @hilarybennmp @NIOgov @PaulMaskeyMP colleagues and friends who helped get Sonita Alizadeh to Belfast.
Look what we did together 👏❤️

The freedom to use your voice, move your body, and share your skills, should be a freedom we all enjoy. Such an uplifting end to the #IW2025 week! Hosting @BeyondSkin’s Afghan women solidarity concerts at the Ulster Orchestra HQ, with @niamh_journo and @alghochak chair Fatima Sarwari, was a joy. I was inspired by the performers, and found the song, and dance in particular, so moving. None of us are free until we are all free. #IWD2025

Wow.
Attending the Afghan Solidarity Concert in Belfast yesterday was amazing. The music was moving, inspirational, and powerful.
Congratulations, @BeyondSkin @UlsterOrchestra, for making this happen.
