We deliver workshops to young people interested in the creative arts industry, for 8-25 year olds . We also support the young people to manage live events, create short films, documentary production, performing arts, singing academy, digital media, coding, DJ’ing, WebDesign and have fun but with a learning experience connected to everything they do.
We want to let all young people in on our brand new programme which will be starting in September! The Belfast Exposed Photography Academy hopes to harness the culture and potential of photography in Northern Ireland through the creation of young emerging photographers.
The project is aimed at improving creative education, enhancing capacity-building skills and providing a pathway to future career and employment prospects of 40 young people annually who live in some of the most deprived areas across Northern Ireland. You have the opportunity to gain an OCN Level II in Digital Photography, equivalent to 3 GCSE’S Grade B if you would like.
The programme is broken down into 3 sections beginning with the basic skills training, then leading to enhancing photography skills and eventually honing those skills into career development.

When you come to NACN you can be sure that our staff and Volunteer Young Leaders will make you feel like part of the team. Each of our sessions offers something different and keeping with the creative side of things we like to change them about to suite the needs of the young people.
At NACN, we have grown so much that our current premises can no longer hold everyone, it is too small for us. No running water, toilets or basic facilities that we require. We are in the middle of planning our new premises so we can meet all of our young people’s needs ie. running water, toilets, kitchen etc. Everything that isn’t possible in our current premises can be achived in our new premises when construction has been completed.
To the right, see the before image, what our new premise is currently in and the after image is what the premise will look when finished.
