Topics will be discussed in interactive, community accessible way to adult community participants who may (or may not) have limited formal education and limited/no prior knowledge. Creative approaches to learning and site visits are encouraged in combination with more structured workshop-based learning and dialogue. 4 cross-community cohorts of 25-30 participants across 1 year – 18 months (or similar). This project is under the Celebrating Cultures and Diversity Theme. Arising from the Co-design process across the District, this project should strive to bring key benefit across the entire council area including rural and urban areas. The project will also encourage cross-border participation. The Co-Design process indicated a need to build on the PEACEIV Decade of Centenaries work and a continued interest in history. It was felt vital to include dialogue-based projects based on the principles of Shared and Ethical Remembrance which engage with potentially contentious issues in history and which challenge thinking and encourage learning and reflection.
