Co-Operation Ireland

Delighted to have been able to have assisted with Arizona based artists Hugo Medina and Kira Olsen who worked with young people in Belfast this week #crosscommunity #peacebuilding #art

We have an amazing opportunity for young people 16+ across the city of Belfast that are interested in working on a cross community social justice programme. Young people will have an opportunity to work with their peers across the city in the design and development of a campaign to change issues that are affecting their communities. Email our Youth Programme manager on the details attached! This is a PEACE IV programme supported by Belfast City Council and Special EU Programmes Body - SEUPB.

NI NCS Autumn 2018

Come and join us on the biking challenge of a lifetime next May when our supporters will set out from Boston, Massachusetts for a five day cycle through #Massachusetts , #Providence, #Rhode Island and finally #NewYork where the participants will take part in the TD Five Boro Bike Tour.
The Bike Tour sees 32,000 riders from every state in the nation and 65 countries around the world take to the traffic free streets of New York - a fitting tribute to all the cycling and fundraising efforts of the participants. That night there will be celebrations to mark the last night in New York

Did you know that if an uncle you had never met had a pre-ceasefire conflict related conviction you could be refused a job in a range of industries?
This ongoing issue and others that still affect the ex-prisoner/former combatant community - from higher insurance premiums to foster care restrictions - were highlighted yesterday at the launch of Co-operation Ireland's Open Doors programme, set up to provide support to this community.
Professor Pete Peter Shirlow from Universi...ty of Liverpool addressed around 100 ex-prisoners at the Farset International yesterday, outlining these issues and why Open Doors would be a vital programme in 2019.
