STRAND 1: Addressing Legacy and Truth in Public Memory

The Consortium wishes to invite Expressions of Interest under Strand 1 of the Priority from organizations or consortia interested in developing and delivering peacebuilding and reconciliation projects which seek to implement actions that explore the legacy and memory of the conflict through truth recovery, documentation, story telling and the recording of complex history and experience.

The Expression of Interest Form will enable the Consortium to identify potential projects and provide additional support to potential applicants prior to the commencement of a tendering process. It is anticipated that a limited number of large scale projects will be supported through this Strand. The Consortium will seek fuller project proposals later in the year. .
Indicative Actions for this Strand include:

Television/Broadcasting: The development of a television/radio series examining the human, community and political legacy of violence and conflict in Ireland and the challenge of reconciliation.
