Commemoration Roundtable Event

Healing Through Remembering and its Commemoration Sub Group hosted a roundtable event on the issue of commemoration relating to the conflict in and about Northern Ireland.

The event, held at the Institute of Irish Studies at Queen’s University Belfast, began to address some key issues relating to commemoration including the parameters and key values of commemoration, and the role of commemoration in societies emerging from conflict in healing and building relationships.

A report from the event will be available shortly and will incorporate two research papers on commemoration which were commissioned by the Sub Group.
