These unique materials assist group participants in exploring living in Northern Ireland and what it means to them.
Corrymeela’s Community Partners Project launched its innovative and creative new resource, Outside In, at the Waterfront Hall. This project is now in its third year and this valuable resource pack has been supported by the Community Relations Council, the Sir Halley Stewart Trust and the United States Institute for Peace.
These unique materials assist group participants in exploring living in Northern Ireland and what it means to them. For each of us the answer to this is complex and reflects the diversity of our experiences and encounters with those around us.
Our values and attitudes have been influenced by our childhood, family, education and community; each plays a role in forming who we are and what makes us tick. The resource helps guide group participants through these and many more questions.
This resource is firmly rooted in practice and its aim is to create a framework whereby participants have the opportunity to explore the question: What makes me tick? The pack provides the tools for facilitators to encourage participants to look at how life experiences inform who they are and how they think.
The resource is made up of two parts:
Susan McEwen, Corrymeela Project Worker, said
"Central to this approach of working has been the idea of creatively recording the sessions and encouraging the participants to contribute to the learning by bringing in items representative of the stories that they might share.
"It has been wonderful to see three exhibitions emerging from this project. These exhibitions have been displayed around the world from New York to right here in Belfast.
"To be able to pass on our learning through this unique creative resource gives me and the project participants great satisfaction."
The Chair of Corrymeela, Kate Pettis, said
"It is always hugely satisfying to see how work undertaken and knowledge gained by Corrymeela whilst out in the community can be shared locally, nationally and internationally. Through this unique resource Corrymeela continues to be at the forefront of reconciliation and community development."
