Cross Border
Digital Creativity


The North Eastern Education and Library
Board (NEELB) has developed what it feels
is a unique project that can help provide a stimulus for increased ICT skills, capacity building, employability and job creation.

In essence the project will provide for much needed social capital and a sustainable infrastructure that
will provide further scope for increased cross border activities in the longer term.

The present project was developed in conjunction with Monaghan Education Centre (MEC). There is currently no project of its kind in Monaghan or the North East region of Northern Ireland and hence the partners would like to pilot it on both sides of the border. The project was borne from the viewpoint that the NEELB and for the large part the schools in its catchment area have little experience of cross border networking and activity. The project will meet gaps in supply of students pursuing careers in the areas of creative arts. This has been evidenced through consultation with BBC, UTV, the Universities and the FE Colleges.
