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.

The GORM Gathering Year 3 programme isn't finished. That's on purpose.

Help shape the room 250 people will be in this year. This one's built around a theme: when cultures collide, better stories are told.

So tell us:

→ A panel or speaker you'd want to see on stage
→ An activity you'd want running through the day
→ A burning topic that fits the theme

Drop it in the comments or send us a DM. The best ideas make it into the room.

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 💙

We're thrilled to introduce the fourth cohort of The Close-Up Summer Residency.

Over the next week, these emerging creatives will come together at in Wicklow for an immersive filmmaking experience designed to develop ideas, build confidence, and strengthen creative community.

As part of GORM's Wideshot Programme, participants will spend the week developing original short film concepts, taking part in industry-led workshops, receiving mentorship, and preparing to pitch their projects at the end of the residency. The programme is designed to deepen storytelling craft, technical skills, and collaborative creation in a focused environment

Throughout the week, participants will learn from industry professionals, share ideas with one another, and take part in the Pitch 'N' Mix Showcase, where one project will be awarded **€2,500 in seed funding** to support the development of their short film.

But beyond the workshops, Close-Up is also about something harder to measure.

It's about shared meals.
Late-night conversations.
Skills-sharing.
Creative risks.
New friendships.
And the feeling of finding people who understand why storytelling matters to you.

We're excited to see what this year's cohort creates together.

Here's to a week of creativity, community, and of course, good food ❤️

Please join us in welcoming the 2026 Close-Up cohort.
