Documentary Screening - 'Unseen Boundaries' - Diverse Youth NI - Belfast City of Sanctuary

Diverse Youth NI, in partnership with Belfast City of Sanctuary and Ulster University, is honoured to present the screening of Unseen Boundaries as part of Good Relations Week 2025. The event will take place on Friday, 17th October 2025, from 4.00pm to 6.00pm at Lecture Theatre 2, Ulster University Belfast Campus.

Unseen Boundaries is a short documentary developed through our Hi-M8 BAME Youth Mental Health Campaign. It explores the often-hidden mental health challenges faced by Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic young people in Northern Ireland, drawing attention to barriers in accessing vital public services, including higher education. By capturing authentic youth voices and lived experiences, the film seeks to spark conversation about inequality, resilience, and inclusion. This documentary is suitable for both adults and children. Young people are encouraged to come along for the event.

The programme will begin at 4.00pm with the documentary screening, followed by a panel discussion and an interactive session from 4.40pm to 6.00pm. This will provide space for questions, comments, and reflections from the audience, ensuring that the event is not only informative but also participatory.

We are inviting representatives from the authorities, community leaders, and key stakeholders, alongside young people and members of the public. The event offers an important opportunity to strengthen dialogue on mental health, good relations, and the role of education in building a more inclusive society.
