Farset Inishowen and Border Counties Initiative is a partnership with Farset Youth and Community, Springfield Road, Belfast. The principal function of this initiative is to provide resources to groups from both sides of the Border to form an exchange visit to explore each others culture, activities and differences and to devise possible opportunities for working together. A number of Think Tanks on specific topics are also part of the project. A current theme being developed is Health Inequalities.
The Crossborder Bytes Project supported by International Fund for Ireland is a collaborative project with the Derry Bytes Project and will provide opportunities in an informal setting for young people aged 15 – 25 to accelerate their own personal development through the creative and enjoyable use of technology. www.bytes.org for more information.
Funded through the Peace III theme 1.2 and managed for the SEUPB by the consortium, this project will be delivered over a 3-year period. The project will bring young people together to explore their common history, diverse cultures, and aspirations for the future, through a series of workshops, presentations, and outdoor pursuits. The central aspect of the project will be for every group to participate in the OCN Level 1 accredited Conflict Transformation and the Messines Experience Programme. This uses Irelands experience in WW1, and the brotherhood that arose between Irishmen on the Western Front to forge new relationships and new hope for our common future. On return the young people will engage in a peer education project, and ongoing contact with the other communities with whom they will have worked. The overall aim of this project is to forge lasting relationships between young people and youth workers from different traditions on this Island who would not otherwise have the opportunity to meet and work together. These relationships will contribute to the peaceful and stable society that we wish to see on this Island. We will do this by using models of best practice that we already know to be successful and facilitate a growing understanding between each group over a long period of time.
