Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, 80:20 works directly with young people and adults from all backgrounds and traditions, to tackle the legacy of the conflict.

In the past few years, 80:20 has, for example:

- Replaced paramilitary wall murals with human rights focused murals – all developed and painted by young people

- Produced educational resource materials for use throughout Ireland analysing the nature and causes of the conflict

- Designed and supported a programme to support people in discovering and exploring their many identities beyond those they inherit via the ‘Troubles’

- Designed and delivered a human Rights curriculum for use in schools

- Explored issues of race and identity and redesigned the ‘Union Jack’ in the process

Some of our key project partners in Northern Ireland include, for example:

• - Creative Youth Partnership
• - The Belfast Education and library Board
• - The Ulster Museum
• - Alternatives
• - Orangefield High School, Belfast
• - St. Joseph’s Secondary School, Belfast
