The John and Pat Hume Foundation and Community Dialogue, along with partners YouthAction NI, Holywell Trust, Ulster University, Integrated Education Fund, and the Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation invite you to join us at Ulster University, Belfast Campus for the Launch of the Peace Summit Report 2023 - A Call to Action.
During the past seven months, the Peace Summit initiative carried out a series of in-depth consultation events with over 700 peace builders, local communities and young people from across Northern Ireland and the border counties. They gave their views on progress made over the past 25 years and the steps still to be taken in relation to the Northern Ireland peace process.
Consultation responses have been distilled and included in the Peace Summit Report - A Call to Action which includes an agenda for the future that speaks to issues from the past that still need to be addressed and require a renewed commitment to create the sustainable peace and reconciliation we desire and deserve.
Tim Attwood, Secretary of the John and Pat Hume Foundation, commented:
John and Pat Hume dedicated their lives to building peace and reconciliation in the North and on the island of Ireland. 25 years on from the historic Yes Referendum on the 24 May 1998, it is very timely that the final report on Peace Summit 2023 – A Call For Action’ will be launched on the anniversary of the Referendum.
Dympna McGlade, Community Dialogue, said:
“The last 25 years have brought relative peace, and we should never take this for granted. The Peace Summit has had a deep and constructive engagement with young people and peacemakers on the unfinished business of peace and reconciliation, the final report recognises the achievements and has produced important recommendations and a call for action for the next 25 years.”
Special thanks are given to The International Fund for Ireland for funding the consultation and report and the additional support provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs Reconciliation Fund and Ulster University.
The launch is open to the general public to attend. Register for your place at the launch.
