Rethinking Conflict

Last night, we welcomed representatives from the Atlanta-based Carter Center to begin a six-day deep dive into political and religious healing within a contested society.

We kicked off the programme with two highly respected figures: Alban McGuinness, SDLP and the first Catholic Lord Mayor of Belfast, and renowned journalist Alex Kane, former Director of Communications for the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP)

It was wonderful to hear them share their personal histories, distinct political narratives, and reflections on life both leading up to and following the Good Friday Agreement.

Thank you to both speakers for an incredibly informative evening that earned high praise from everyone in our group.

Special shout out to Ben  who celebrated his birthday yesterday with the famous Colin the caterpillar cake!
