## Resource

Ed Sheeran’s foundation is making waves in Ireland with North South Sounds 2026 — a groundbreaking cross-border music initiative bringing youth from both sides of the island together through songwriting, performance, and community. Running from July to December 2026, the program blends traditional Irish sounds with hip-hop and pop, empowering young creatives and ensuring every child gets access to music. With youth gigs in Cork and Belfast, summer camps, and a mission to celebrate heritage and inclusion, this is just the latest chapter in the foundation’s global push to make music education accessible — following recent wins like the UK’s Music in Libraries program and Ed’s personal advocacy for updated school curriculums.
