The Peace III Programme, which will run until the end of 2013, has seen a further €9.4m worth of funding brought into the County. Donegal Peace III Action Plan 2011-2013 Delivering the Donegal Peace III Action Plan 2011-2013 Donegal County Council’s PEACE III Team has taken a lead role in delivering a range of actions set out in this plan including: ‘One Donegal’ Initiative Building on the work initiated during Phase I, this programme was funded under Phase II for the period 2011 to 2013. The programme focuses on the development and delivery of capacity building; sharing the learning and awareness-raising programmes aimed at the Partnership members, communities, groups, organisations and their leaders in terms of challenging and addressing sectarianism and racism in Donegal. Donegal County Council hosted a very successful “One Donegal Cultural Diversity Month” for a third successive year in November 2012 which included the provision of support to a range of community and voluntary based organisations to host events and activities in their own locality. The “One Donegal Cultural Diversity Month” was highly commended by Chambers Ireland under the Excellence in Local Government Awards for Festival of the Year. These awards showcase best practice in Local Government and highlight some of the great projects that Local Authorities are undertaking. Port na Fáilte Intercultural Resource Centre The Port na Fáilte Intercultural Resource Centre continued to operate during 2012. This time banded project, which is due to conclude in December 2012, was a success story of the PEACE III programme in County Donegal. The centre provided an extensive, countywide programme of supports, activities and research to facilitate ethnic minority communities to participate fully in civic life in Donegal. The legacies of this project include the continuation of the Intercultural Platform for the county, which provides a voice and representation for ethnic minority groups and the continuation of the Independent Incident Reporting Scheme for Sectarian and Racist Incidents. 94 Respecting and Connecting Communities’ proJect This project concluded in September 2012, with an end of project seminar highlighting both the challenges and successes, which transpired during the lifetime of the project. A report entitled “An Integrated Approach to Relationship Building” was launched at the seminar, which was designed to act as a resource to others from the Community, Voluntary and Statutory Sectors who are working towards similar aims and objectives. A copy of the report is available on the County Development Board website at www.donegalcdb.ie . Border Villages Social Integration ProJect. This project was funded under Phase II of the PEACE III Action Plan and is due to run until April 2013. The aim of the programme is to provide a range of activities in border towns and villages aimed at creating greater social cohesion between “new” residents and the local communities. The actions that have been funded to date include the provision of a number of community gardens and related training, the provision of a web based resource to encourage information sharing and publicity that encourages greater participation in community life in the targeted areas and support to a range of activities targeting a number of PEACE III target groups in border towns and villages which will build the social capital in the geographical areas identified. Hands of History ProJect This project funded under Phase II of the PEACE III Action Plan was officially launched in December 2012. This project aims to develop and deliver an innovative series of programmes and events exploring our shared history, and how we remember events of the past, in order to challenge attitudes towards sectarianism and racism, and will develop the capacity of the community to mark these events in an inclusive manner focussing on the potential of a shared future rather than dwelling on and perpetuating the divisions of the past. A key feature of the programme is a legacy event planned for 2013 in conjunction with the NW Cluster and UK City of Culture 2013.

It is an investigation of the importance history plays in the peace process of Northern Ireland. The goal of this study was to assess the success of the Peace Bridge in helping the city to overcome an inherited historical memory. Data was obtained through formal interviews, surveys of users on the bridge, various forms of literature, and participant observation. Through these methods, it can be concluded that the Peace Bridge has successfully increased cross-community interaction in the city.

  • Co-Operation-Ireland-E-Book-2019-LR
    Welcome from Co-operation Ireland I am delighted to introduce this book of peace pledges devised and written by thousands of school pupils from across this island. They offer hope and inspiration to all of us on how people in our society should behave towards one another. The booklet, which was produced to coincide with the first-ever Amazing the Space event at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Maze/Long Kesh, on International Peace Day, 21 September 2016, celebrates the role of this generation in peace-building. With thousands of young people coming together, and even more joining from across the world, Amazing the Space will be a beacon of hope for lasting peace in Northern Ireland and beyond. The iconic Peace Pledge Tree was unveiled in Ebrington Park on Friday 29 November 2019. In recognising the power of people coming together to do something positive, Co-operation Ireland is honoured to be part of this movement, and we hope to continue it for many years to come. Co-operation Ireland would like to recognise the invaluable contribution made to the programme by the local Steering Committee led by Rev Dr David Latimer, the support and guidance provided by the Executive Office, and the creative talent demonstrated by internationally renowned sculptor and artist Maurice Harron, in the creation of the Peace Pledge Tree. I invite you to read these pledges and commit to making them a reality for this generation and future generations. Peter Sheridan Chief Executive Co-operation Ireland My interest in peace building was significantly sharpened during a Tour of Duty as Hospital Chaplain at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.
