Shared Housing Shared History Trip – Belfast Troubles Tour

Shared Housing, Shared History: Belfast Troubles Tour for Antrim and Ballycastle Residents

Join us for a Shared Housing, Shared History Tour, where residents from Fennel Drive in Antrim and Dunineany View in Ballycastle will come together for a meaningful exploration of Belfast’s historical landmarks. This joint Troubles Tour will cover significant sites, including Falls Road, Shankill, and the Peace Wall.

Guided by Dr. Tom Thorpe, the tour will offer insights into the complexities of our shared past, fostering a deeper understanding of the Troubles and their impact on our communities.

Reflecting the theme of ‘OpportUNiTY’, this event provides a unique opportunity for residents from different areas to connect through a shared historical experience, promoting dialogue and mutual understanding. By engaging with this history together, participants will explore the ways in which our collective past can inform and enrich our current relationships and community dynamics.
