👉 The Belfast Project, launched by the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2017, aims to foster reconciliation and peace in Northern Ireland through a series of initiatives that bring together people from different communities, including those with deep historical and sectarian divides. It focuses on dialogue, education, and community engagement to address the legacy of conflict and promote mutual understanding. Key components include the "Peace Walls" project, which seeks to transform physical barriers into community spaces, and the "Belfast Story" initiative, which uses storytelling to highlight shared histories and common futures. By encouraging collaboration on local issues, the project seeks to build trust and reduce tensions, ultimately contributing to a more peaceful and inclusive society in Northern Ireland.
