What happened when Springboard invited two historically divided communities to share how the Good Friday Agreement impacts their worlds today?
Building connections between divided communities. Creating a space to share individual – and very personal – realities of the past, present and future. This is what Springboard’s Our Lives, Our Legacy project was all about. In acknowledgement of the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, it listened to, and amplified, the voices of 15 young people from both Catholic and Protestant communities.
The group held an event on the UN International Day of Peace in 2023, which included an immersive, interactive exhibition and performance. They shared their hopes and visions for the next 25 years and invited the wider community to share theirs, too. Taking their insights to an even younger generation, the group also ran workshops in seven Belfast primary schools.
