The group looked at similarities and differences from Nicosia's Green Line to the peace wall here in Belfast. As they heard from the UN and local peace activists the question was posed;
What is the real cause of division - the walls we physically see, or the walls in our minds?

👉 Met the Irish Ambassador, young people from Pyla participating in a bi-communal project and 2 members from the newly established youth committee in Cyprus

Just over half way through the trip this inspiring group of young leaders have accomplished so much!

We look forward to hearing more insights from PowerUp’s study of international peace building, and how they will integrate this learning into their work back home.

Springboard had our collective social to Let's go Hydro this week in celebration of the success of the young people so far!
It was great to see all the young people on our programmes come together and decompress after the amazing work they have put in. Well done to our brilliant young people!

Our Directions group had an informative visit to the Crumlin Road Gaol today. One of the group commented, "It's hard to face this part of our history sometimes, but after today I do feel like it's important to acknowledge. It wasn't that long ago this gaol was in use."

Directions - Good Relations Learning

Through thoughtful discussions and activities around topics like prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination, young people dived in to what diversity really means and how we can all contribute to building a more inclusive society for everyone.

This week our Journeys groups took things outside, because when Belfast gives you a gorgey day, you grab it!

Youth work gives us the freedom to be flexible, responsive, and creative. Sometimes the best sessions happen under open skies.

The group are exploring the experiences and practices of different communities, and the many benefits of living in a diverse, inclusive society. They’ve had some great conversations about different cultures, identities, and what it really means to live in a diverse community.
