🎻 EA Music students take part in masterclass with international violinist Philippe Quint 🎻
The leaders of three of EA Music’s youth orchestras had an incredible opportunity this week as they took part in a special masterclass with internationally acclaimed violinist Philippe Quint, who is performing with the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast this week.

The young musicians performed and learned from Philippe’s wealth of experience, supported by their peers from EA Music Youth Orchestras across Northern Ireland and members of the Ulster Youth Orchestra.

A huge thank you to Philippe Quint for sharing his expertise and inspiring our young musicians, and to the Ulster Orchestra for making this opportunity possible through our valued ongoing partnership.

And, of course, a massive well done to our three young violinists, Cliodhna Simpson Western Youth Orchestra, Jonathan Wilson South Ulster Youth Orchestra and Jude Kingston City of Belfast Youth Orchestra. We are incredibly proud of your dedication, confidence and achievement. 👏🎶

Something a bit different for our EOTAS students!

The EA has launched Beyond the Classroom, a new social farming programme with Rural Network for Northern Ireland, giving young people from 10 EOTAS provisions the chance to learn hands-on at local social farms.

From animal care to horticulture and biodiversity projects, students will build confidence, teamwork and practical skills while discovering new pathways into education, training and volunteering.

The programme launched with events across the North West during Social Farming Awareness Week including at Crindle Stables, Limavady, and Butterlope Farm, Omagh.

Young people from Newry, Mourne and Down Youth Council and Comhairle na nÓg Louth have spent recent months making their voices heard on the issues that matter most to them.

Through a cross-border project, the group explored life in border regions and developed recommendations on three themes they chose themselves: ending violence against young women, transport, and identity and culture.

They took their findings to Dáil Éireann in Dublin in July, then to Parliament Buildings at Stormont on 18 September, where they toured the building and took part in a Q&A with MLA Cathy Mason.

Aileen O'Callaghan, Senior Youth Officer for Newry, Mourne and Down, said: "This project has empowered young people to speak confidently about the issues that matter most to them and to engage directly with decision-makers across both jurisdictions. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the positive relationships they have built through this cross-border partnership."

A brilliant example of youth voice shaping conversations about the future of border communities.

Young people from Kaleidoscope (Antrim) and Q Café (Downpatrick) travelled to Lancaster to join hundreds of others at the Pride Youth Games 2026, an annual event celebrating diversity, identity and inclusion through sport.

For many, it was a chance to build friendships, try new activities and feel truly included.

One young person told us: "I made many new friends which is something really personal for me as I sometimes struggle to find people I relate to. I felt so included. It's left a real impact on me, knowing that I can find people who will like me and include me."

A huge well done to everyone who took part, and to our brilliant youth workers who supported them along the way.

CURRY GALORE AT ASHFIELD GIRLS!

We recently visited Ashfield Girls’ High School in Belfast to see how they were celebrating National Curry Week – and Michelle and her kitchen team were cooking up a fragrant storm!

There was plenty to tempt pupils, including a "Korma Chameleon" from our National Curry Week promotion and a "Thai Red Chicken Curry" from our Flavours of the World range. It was brilliant to see the team bringing the promotion to life and giving pupils the chance to explore different flavours at lunchtime.

National Curry Week is just one of 11 promotions we’re running throughout the school year across our post-primary schools, bringing extra variety to the menu and encouraging pupils to try something new.

A big thank you to Michelle and the team for their hard work and warm welcome.

We’ve shared photos from our visit alongside a selection of our 20 Flavours of the World dishes, which are served in our post-primary schools over a four-week menu cycle.

And if you fancy bringing one of those flavours home, we’re sharing our Thai Red Chicken Curry recipe, which serves four, so you can give it a go.

Take a look through our photo gallery, save the recipe and enjoy a little curry inspiration for your next family meal!
