GORM

COMMENT 'GATHERING' TO JOIN THE COLLISION 💥 🎟

Plot twist: your culture has never stayed in its lane.

It borrowed. Travelled. Mixed.

And somewhere along the way, the collision became the culture.

So what happens when we do it again?
Different cultures. Different perspectives. Film. Music. Food. Art. All crashing into one room.

No script for what comes out the other side.
That’s the point.

Comment “GORM” to join our waitlist!

New here?

Let us reintroduce ourselves!

We are an award winning social enteprise founded in 2020 by Dr. Mamobo Ogoro | Cultural Psychologist

Our mission is to unify across differences through intercultural education and media.

We do it through our community programmes, events, and with our intercultural consultancy wing for global teams and businesses, we operate under a hybrid social enteprise model.

We are grounded by one belief: difference does not mean division.

Want to join the movement, comment “GORM” to be a part of our learning waitlist.

Dolly was never afraid to show she was, she was never afraid to stand up for her community, she knew her impact would last. She was an inspiration to all of us.

May she rest in peace 💙

Rest in peace, Professor Arday. Your work made space for so many others to imagine belonging differently.

We wanted to share Aoife Barry's powerful commentary in her The Times and Sunday Times Sunday column. Shenaptures the urgency of the conversations at our National Seminar on Intercultural Competence and Racial Equity in the Arts, which took place on Wednesday 10th of June.

Real change requires more than good intentions, it demands action, accountability and leadership.

We're calling on arts and cultural organisations to join our Pioneer Partners programme and lead the way in embedding intercultural competence and racial equity into everyday practice.

The time for action is now.

With thanks to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport for supporting this important initiative.

The Close Up Summer Residency 2026 cohort are flat out preparing for the Pitch’N’Mix Showcase, where each participant will pitch for €2,500 to bring their project to life.

It's been a jam packed week of developing the skills to manage a film budget, choosing best camera gear and editing software, how to format your script. Participants have learned the importance of creative choices in the edit and taking the script from paper to screen with the support of industry experts such as Ray Roantree and Gerry Stembridge who have been so generous with their time and knowledge 🎥

The cohort were delighted to pick the brain of 2025 Close Up Summer Residency winner, . And they had many, many questions!!!!

Everyone has worked so hard, we are so proud of them and the little tight knit bunch they have formed thid week, spending a lot of time together.

We wish them the very best of luck with the pitches tomorrow 💙
