Forgan Arts has a large outdoor garden for playing. All indoor areas and much of the garden is accessible by wheelchair.

About the partners
Feminist Bird Club Dundee is an inclusive club built on a shared curiosity for our environment and an interest in social justice: anyone who believes in an equal society is welcome to join. Through meet ups, walks, conservation activities, discussion and more, we want to make birding and the outdoors inclusive and affirming to people who may not have safe access to it.
ScrapAntics work closely with the New Scots (refugee) community in Dundee, providing safe spaces to socialise, share knowledge, practice English and learn new skills – with a focus on family activities and integration into the local community. Activities include gardening, sports, trips to other cities and places of interest, cooking, artistic projects and more.
This event is part of Falastin Film Festival in Dundee and North East Fife from 24-27 September. Celebrate Palestinian cinema and culture in a programme of films, talks, workshops and performance co-curated by Art Workers for Palestine Dundee. Gather to mobilise against Zionist colonisation while learning from Palestinian resistance, cultural pride, stories of love, and, in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life.
