Organisation's Statement

The Verbal Arts Centre is situated on the historic walled city of Derry/Londonderry. It is a specialist centre for the development of literacy through creative activities where literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, communicate ( talking & listening ) and comprehend.

• The centre's resources are utilised to:
• Devise and implement new ways for everyone to access and enjoy the cultural, creative and improved quality of life benefits to be gained through the written and spoken word.
• Add value to different public policy contexts in areas such as community relations, access to the literary and language arts, lifelong learning and the educational curriculum.
• Support and nurture the work of new writers and other artists of the word.
