Our Programmes
Good Relations Training
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Good Relations continues to be a central part of the work of Irish Peace Centres. All our programmes and interventions make a contribution to Good Relations. IPC continues to set itself the challenge of working cooperatively and collaboratively as a consortium while also actively seeking out opportunities to work with others who share similar aims and goals. In our Good Relations training for example consortium members will work together to develop an IPC branded Good Relations programme. We will also work closely with partner organisations such as Kilcranny House to share best practice in and deliver of our IPC Good Relations training.
Our Good Relations programme focuses mainly on young people and we also liaise with Local Authorities regarding support for their Good Relations plans and other aspects of their Peace III plans. IPC plan to develop Good Relations training along the border recognising that this is another challenging interface. Young people may seem to be from the ‘same community’ and yet the border acts as a chasm dividing them and leading to physical conflict and ill-feeling. Young people living in border areas face the challenge of this division on a daily basis.
We deliver a programme of accredited and non-accredited training focusing on peace-building practitioners as well as community workers and volunteers (including voluntary management committees).
