Young people from differing communities have been working together on a Springboard project exploring the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict. The ‘Our Lives, Our Legacy’ event at Crumlin Road Gaol on UN International Day of Peace will bring people together for a showcase of their learning. The event aims to show how shared events can help promote integration and maximise community cohesion. Young people will take attendees through an immersive exhibition and performance marking the 25th Anniversary of the GFA and share their collective visions and hopes for the next 25 years.

Our Living Library event is your opportunity to ‘borrow’ a person, instead of a book, for a one-to-one 20-minute conversation.
Running as part of Good Relations Week 2023, our library-with-a-difference is the place to discover unique and fascinating real-life stories.
With 15 different stories to discover on the day, here are just some of the intriguingly titled ‘books’ to whet your appetite:
• How did a social worker end up in Long Kesh?
• Poet…. peeler, Druid…. healer, Queer (LGBTQIA+)…. volunteer!
• ‘So where are you from, love?’
• This will only end in two ways………..death or prison
Read the full list of titles, along with a synopsis of each story: Living Library 2023 (belfastcity.gov.uk

Following on from a very successful event in 2022 this years event is another opportunity for residents from either side of the Alliance Ave/Glenbyrn Park segregation barrier and further afield to meet up and spend some time socialising and having a fun time.
There will be contributions from local community and youth organisations as well as a barbecue and fun activities for the kids. There will also be health checks, complimentary therapies and welfare advice on the day.
This event is another opportunity for local groups who work and plan together throughout the year to highlight the levels of collaboration that takes place across boundaries and barriers and for local residents to spend some fun time together.
Eden Project Communities invite you to celebrate Good Relations Week with us because we believe we need strong, connected communities to support each other and protect our planet.
Through The Big Lunch, our Network, and community activity, we’re on a mission to create happier and healthier communities who are better equipped to face life’s challenges.
This event celebrates our network members’ progress and recognises all the people who hosted #TheBigLunch events to bring neighbours together.
It is timed as part of Good Relations Week to recognise the huge difference we all make when we come together and celebrate our culture and commonality.
Join us for a bite to eat and take the time to meet other people from across Northern Ireland taking positive community action.
What ever your area of focus, come along and enjoy lunch and the opportunity to connect.
The event is open to everyone.
A vegetarian buffet lunch will be available at 1pm followed by a very short presentation by Grainne McCloskey Eden Project Communities and plenty of time to chat and network, something we don’t take enough time for these days!

The Palestinian Paintings is a travelling exhibition in Ulster by ex-Israeli artist and Holocaust survivor Zohar, who is of Jewish heritage.
We are delighted that Ulster has welcomed this unique peace-building, cross-border, cross-community, interfaith, ecumenical, bilingual art exhibition promoting reconciliation and dialogue, over the last two years. It opens in Belfast on the first day of Good Relations Week 2023, the 18th September 2023, at 11 am at the Conway Mill Centre ( 5-7 Conway St, Belfast BT13 2DE, United Kingdom).
The exhibition is unique, as it is by an ex-Israeli artist Zohar reaching out and extending the hand of friendship to the Palestinian people. Zohar is a renowned artist who has previously painted the Belfast Lord Mayor, Lord Browne (DUP), and the late Lady Diana. This exhibition has a message of peace and reconciliation for the peoples of Northern Ireland.
