The Day of Private Reflection is offered as a day for personal, private and individual reflection, for example, at home or at work, within a family, group or organisation.

The Day of Private Reflection is offered as an inclusive and positive experience that emphasises a commitment to a peaceful new society. Public events will not be a feature of the Day.

It is hoped that this initial Day of Private Reflection on 21 June 2007 could lead to an annual Day of Reflection, and continue to make a contribution to addressing the hurts of the past and moving forward as a society.

The Day of Private Reflection is an opportunity for us all:

  • To acknowledge the deep hurt and loss caused by the conflict in and about Northern Ireland,
  • To remember the men, women and children who on a daily basis live with the consequences of the conflict,
  • To reflect on our own attitudes that might have the potential to negatively impact on others and society,
  • To reflect on what more each of use might have done or might still do to uphold and enhance all other people's right to life and quality of life, and
  • To make a personal commitment that, as we begin to move forward as a society, such loss should never be allowed to happen again.
