Good Relations Week 2018 Monday 17 – Sunday 23 September 2018 ‘Then, Now … Next?’ Welcome to Good Relations Week!

Good Relations Week is a high profile initiative supporting the Executive’s Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) strategy. It is an opportunity to celebrate all aspects of our culture and heritage, to promote cultural diversity and to challenge sectarianism and racism.

The Week’s primary objectives are to inspire new ideas, promote understanding, respect and engagement between and amongst all sections of our community. It provides a platform for organisations and groups across a variety of sectors to demonstrate innovative approaches to good relations and examples of how we can build a united and shared community.

The theme for this year is ‘Then, Now … Next?’. 20 years after the Agreement, we reflect on how far we have come and our ideas about what we should do next.

All events listed have received financial support from Fermanagh and District Council’s good relations programme assisted by The Executive Office. What can churches do next? Fermanagh and in partnership with and District Community Partnership
