Communities Connect

The programme aims to develop innovative actions for Peace III target groups and areas to engage in deep peace building and reconciliation work. It will work with those directly affected by the conflict including bereaved families, victims groups, border youth, young people from ex-prisoners families, refugees from international conflict zones, ethnic minority groups in a bid to build confidence, develop understanding of difference, repair relationships, break down barriers and develop tools towards healing all of which will help to prevent a future outbreak of violence and thus secure the future. It will work on a cross border, cross community, multi faith and multi racial basis. It will document the methodologies used in a bid to leave a legacy of peace building work carried out on the island of Ireland and to ensure the capturing and multiplication of the lessons learned into the wider community.

The project aims to:

• Build on and deepen relationships developed between cross border and cross community peace building practitioners to empower them to address the legacy of the conflict within the communities within which they work in a bid to prevent an outbreak of violence into the future.

• Develop an innovative cross border, cross community, multi-faith, multi-racial programme with young people impacted by the conflict which breaks down their fears and stereotypes of otherness and encourages them to be catalysts in their communities in a bid to break the cycle of inherited transgenerational violence and hatred.

• Build on and deepen a unique cross border, cross community, multi-faith, multi-racial programme based on culture as a healing tool for dealing with the legacy of conflict, in order for participants to attach meaning to their own pain and suffering and collectively create mechanisms towards dealing with the past.
