This year’s theme is Include. Press play to meet some of the people bringing it to life across Northern Ireland.
Good Relations Week 2026, taking place from 12th to 18th October, embraces ‘Include’ as its theme, recognising that stronger communities are built when everyone feels welcomed, valued and respected.
