Community Relations Council

Introduction

The forthcoming period 2011 -2022 marks a number of significant political events which have shaped the sense of British and Irish identity in Northern Ireland in the 20^th century. It is a decade of Ideas.

The Community Relations Council and Heritage Lottery Fund from late 2010 began to work in partnership in order to stimulate a conversation which seeks to raise the issue of remembering in public space and perhaps to promote a process that leads to the development of practice models and principles.  As society engages with the legacies of this revolutionary period there is potential to reinforce the development of political and civic culture – engaging with culture and identity, rights, what we mean by democracy and the nature of political change. We may also be able to acknowledge the legacy of the decade and support engagement with the complexity of our history.

Through this webpage we hope to create useful links to organisations that can or are contributing in this exploration; to highlight available resources in publications, DVDs and disseminate projects and approaches that may be adopted more widely; and make discussion and guidance papers available.  There is also an up and coming section.

The webpage will evolve and to add links, resources, papers and to the up and coming section, please use the contact details below.
