Northern Ireland Community Relations Council - About Us - News - A Shared future of Race Relations: From Europe to Northern Ireland Conference on European Integration Policy and Practice

08 April 2008

This is a 2 day event that will be held on the 8th and 9th May 2008 at the Wellington Park Hotel in Belfast. The conference marks the close of a year long Province wide project entitled “A Shared Future of Race Relations: From Europe to Northern Ireland”. Through a training programme and a series of events the project has informed and shaped how Northern Ireland has adapted to its changing demographics. At the heart of the project has been the development of strategies on integration and good race relations that promote equality and respect diversity. On the basis of local expertise and training tools developed at the European level, the project has enabled the development of networks of cooperation across all communities in Northern Ireland.

This conference will specifically bring a variety of expertise and experience on European and local Integration policy and practice from a diverse variety of sources, including European agencies and local government as well as grassroots organisations in order to present and discuss different models and methods and share in examples of good and bad practice.
