Deric Henderson and Ivan Little are very experienced journalists who reported on the Northern Ireland conflict for most of its duration. Subsequently, their two highly acclaimed compilations of reporting from the time have made an important contribution to public understanding of the period from the insider perspective of those who recorded those turbulent and horrific years.
In more recent times, journalism has been openly critical of the role of schools, and history teachers, in failing to adequately provide young people with a grounded understanding of the nature of the conflict and its continuing impact on Ireland in the present.
This online session brings together the journalists, Deric Henderson, Brian Rowan and Freya McClements, of the Irish Times, history teachers and interested others, first to listen to Deric and Brian’s experiences of reporting the Troubles, then to consider the validity of criticisms of current history teaching practice and discuss the contribution that the journalistic legacy might make to enhancing the teaching of the Troubles in classrooms.
In celebration of Good Relations Week 2024 and its theme of ‘OpportUNITY,’ Galbally Runners in partnership with Choice Housing Ireland is excited to bring back the One Mile Road Relay Race.

Over a period of 14 weeks, a group of 8 women from Cookstown of all ages and from various diverse backgrounds, came together to learn photography. The project was about much more than merely taking photographs, it involved empowerment, sharing experiences, storytelling, building confidence, writing
journals and learning through art. Connections were made and friendships were formed.
This was an individual project as well as a group project.
On Wednesday 2oth September 2023 (6-9pm) the book will be exhibited and launched in the Hub, Cookstown.
The event will be compered by Tim McGarry.
This event will be a hybrid event held in the offices of NIRWN Cookstown and online for rural women to come together to hear from the Director and Project Co-ordinator of NIRWN about their recent study visit to Iceland, through the support of the Social Change Initiative.
The staff will share the learning from this visit on the topic of gender equality, relating to all aspects of women’s lives in Iceland and will engage in a Q and A with participants.
This event is also an opportunity to explore issues relevant to rural women’s lives in Northern Ireland, particularly around gender equality as well as women, peace and security and will help shape and inform future NIRWN work in this field.
