two.1.4) Short description
Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Forward Thinking. This is an adult dialogue project around the future of North-South and East-West (N-S and E-W) relationships. It includes exploring constitutional questions and challenges (e.g. calls for a border poll, impact of Brexit etc) from a diverse range of perspectives. It is one of the key dialogue based projects within the council PEACEPLUS programme. The local co-design process showed that this topic is as a critical future-facing conversation for stability and reconciliation in Northern Ireland. Whilst there are a range of views on BREXIT, there is recognition that its impact has been seen as destabilising to the peace process. This project aims to address this perceived contentious topic in order to build trust and capacity for democratic engagement. The project will engage with very diverse views and identities including diverse political opinions, and those most impacted by the borders and the issues being discussed. The project will include visits to places elsewhere also facing constitutional challenges e.g. Scotland; or any EU area of political/identity conflict. Programming may wish to consider learning from re-unified areas of the EU e.g. Germany. Visits will explore how other areas manage pressures and find relevant learning. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
