Glencree Summer School: Leadership for a new generation – power, politics and participation
Date:
27 Aug 2010 (All day) - 28 Aug 2010 (All day)
Location:
Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation, Co. Wicklow The Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation’s annual Summer School will take place from August 27th to 29th and focuses on the role of youth in providing political leadership in sustaining and advancing peace and reconciliation both on the island of Ireland and around the world.
Every year the Glencree Summer School focuses on a topical and relevant theme that seeks to further knowledge of the challenges of conflict and potential solutions to these challenges. Previous themes have included ‘What the North needs to say and the South needs to hear’ and ‘Courage to continue the journey – dismantling divisions’ and previous speakers have included FW De Klerk, Mo Mowlam and Johannes Gastung.
The 2010 theme is entitled‘Leadership for a new generation – power, politics and participation’, which is strongly focused on the future roles of a generation that, in an Irish context at least, have lived most of their lives in a post violence environment.
