Networking for Peace in the North-West and Cross Border. Irish Peace Centres (IPC) is a consortium of peace-building organisations which seeks to cultivate and sustain positive relationships at a local level across the region and across traditional sectarian and new social divides.

The members of the consortium are:

1. Corrymeela Community
2. Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation
3. Co-operation Ireland.

IPC adopts an integrated approach to peace-building which comprises capturing and sharing the learning; interface community dialogue; deep dialogue; sustainable peace networks; faith and peace; experiential learning both accredited and unaccredited; research studies; seminars; conferences; strategic interventions at local and regional level; and international exchanges.

IPC is hosting an information and networking session on 4 March at the Junction, Bishop Street, Derry/Londonderry, 12.30pm – 2.00pm. This will be an occasion to introduce groups and individuals to the work of the consortium and to hear from you about your work and explore together possible areas of common interest and collaborative working.

Staff and Board members of IPC will be in attendance and there will be short presentations of four recent research studies followed by an open discussion. There will be an opportunity for informal networking over lunch. For further information on this event and details of other events visit http://www.irishpeacecentres.org/news.
