Prejudice and Pride IPC conference

Submitted by aquinn on Sun, 04/04/2010 - 22:21

The 30th and 31st March 2010 saw the Irish Peace Centres hold the 'Prejudice and Pride' conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The conference explored the themes of the 'Roots of Prejudice', 'Experience of Prejudice' and 'Challenging Prejudice'. 


During the 2 day conference a number of prominent figures in peace and reconciliation on the island of Ireland- Duncan Morrrow (Community Relations Council), Bernadette McAliskey (South Tyrone Empowerment Programme) and Maureen Hetherington (Healing through Remembering) delivered key note speeches. We also heard from former combatants- from our own conflict and from the Israeli/Palestinian conflict- about their efforts to build peace, reconciliation and build relationships.

We were also very privileged to have Peter Tatchell, the Human Rights Activist, join us on the evening of the 30th March as our after dinner speaker

Details of these sessions and other events associated with the conference to follow in detail.
