Activity 2 - Interface reconciliation

The project involves the delivery of four inter-related activities, with participants from Northern Ireland and the six border counties in the Republic of Ireland. Activities from all four work streams will take place across the region, and amongst both rural and urban communities.

Activity 2 is a local and specific intervention in interface areas that provides a strong local dimension to the whole project. It seeks to develop capacity engagement across traditional and emerging cultural divides. Activities will include training for intercommunity interface groups through residential community based capacity building programmes, e.g. community relations, experiential learning, cultural diversity, conflict management, mediation, creative expression, group work and communication. A high quality, intercommunity interface reconciliation programme will be developed and disseminated. A number of participants will be drawn from interface areas and trained. Six groups will be further supported in their work. A number of individual interface workers will be given further training and support to further interface reconciliation at the local level at interface areas.
