aftermath

Using the arts, the project provided participants with a space to explore and create opinions and understanding of contemporary society and the issues they face.  

Participants are exposed to a broad, diverse range of narratives from those impacted by the conflict, providing an opportunity for the participants to both learn from those narratives and to present their own. This quality, intensive engagement will empower young people, build trust and communication skills, offer a range of transferrable skills and build new relationships for continued partnerships.

110 young people aged 14-18 years of age from Monaghan YT, Sligo IT, VOIPIC,  Carrickfergus YMCA, YPAG

The workshops were part of Adapting Aftermath Archives, a cross-border project which developed an educational toolkit from the Aftermath project archives (www.aftermathireland.com funded under PEACE III – 2012-2013). 

Adapting Aftermath Archives was funded under the EU’s PEACE IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Match-funding for the project was provided by the Executive Office in Northern Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development in Ireland.
