What is the Verbal? The Verbal is an arts centre and exhibition space on the walls of Derry City. We run programmes that use literature to stimulate empathy and resilience among different groups of vulnerable people in Northern Ireland. Through READING ROOMS and SELDOM HEARD initiatives, we facilitate therapeutic and empowering reading, story-telling and conversation. Because EVERY STORY MATTERS.
