peacebuilding

How well is Northern Ireland progressing on the path to reconciliation? What obstacles do we face and what approaches should we be taking to build on the work that has been done and bring reconciliation home? Host Will Leitch will be joined by panellists Davy Adams, Nicola Brady, Monica McWilliams and Spike Murray to discuss questions around these topics. A specially adapted version of John Paul Lederach’s drama based on Psalm 85 will be performed by a group of local actors as a prelude to the panel discussion.

This is an invitation only event. Invited representatives of local peacebuilding organisations will gather in the iconic setting of Belfast City Hall to celebrate the progress that has been made in the building of a shared home for the people of Belfast. While the journey to this goal is ongoing, we want to acknowledge and encourage those who are working in the sector, bringing hope of a brighter shared future. Attendees will have an opportunity to network with others working in the same field and share ideas around the concept of home in community relations work. This is a closed event for invited representatives of local peacebuilding organisations. We thank Belfast City Council for their kind generosity for the use of City Hall.
