Samba Drumming Continues on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 leading up to Galway Pride.  Contact us for more info!

Calling all 16- 21 year olds who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Questioning!

We would like to hear about your experiences of messages that “It’s ok to be gay”. We know that some young people hear and see messages that it’s absolutely ok to be gay, and others don’t, and we would like to know more in order to better support other young people growing up.

Have you got 20 minutes to complete a survey?…

Thank you!

Hey shOUT!, this Saturday we’re going to have a special guest chat with the group about being LGBT in Galway over the years. Ever wondered what it was like to be LGBT in Galway before you were even born?  Have times really changed?  Did you know there were LGBT young people that met before  shOUT!’s creation?  Are you aware that homosexuality only became decriminalised in 1993 in Ireland?  Join us for a fun and friendly discussion.

Hey All, shOUT! will be meeting this Thursday from 4-6pm instead of the usual Saturday time.  Hope we get to see you!

Hey shOUT!,

We are heading to the Westside Arts Festival this Saturday.  There are loads of cool activities that have been planned over the weekend, from graffiti, to boat making, zumba, face painting, hop hop, storytelling, arts and crafts….the list goes on and on.  We’re meeting on time on Saturday to walk to the festivities.  Hope you can make it!

Hi shOUT!

Please check out this link!

www.boldfaceproducions.co.uk A short film dispelling any myths about the gay community by Out and About, a project of Youth Action.

Made as part of the BoldVoices programme a partnership between Community Foundation Northern Ireland and BoldFace Productions. Young people recieved 15 hours of film training – this film is the result.

Hi shOUT!,

we have new media in the shOUT! space and on Saturday we looked at how to set it up, we have home media entertainment set up and on Saturday we set up playlist from youtube and the shOUT! members helped with setting up the computer with Opera and faster internet sites (thanks for that!!)

hopefully we can use this new entertainment system to include a whole new dimension to shOUT! Saturdays (as lets be honest it was a little quiet? more lady Gaga??)

so if anyone has any ideas on setting up the laptop or have any ideas as to how to get the most from this media please let us know (no?)

take care everyone

We will start weekly Samba Drumming practices on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm leading up to Galway Pride.  Interested in joining along?  Ring or text: 087 773 8529
