Since this post, Dermot, endured online abuse and has since spoken out against it @irish_news today. We are so proud of Dermot and this is our pic of good times in Dublin. The Emerald Isle is beautiful. Words do not have to hurt. #peace #love #InclusionMatters
What's happened in Dublin last night was a disgrace. They do not represent me or my country.
The fact that they are using the horrific attack yesterday as an excuse to spread their hatred is disgusting.
This is what the real Ireland is, a welcoming place for everyone. To work, socialise, and educate together.

5 months ago, this happened! I was in Japan #bucketlist However it left me deep in thought and has taken this time to settle to share the amazing and inspiring experience of Hiroshima. Today, I’ve started 🌱🌳… #Cultural #Peace #Japan #Hiroshima Learn like a Tree to Grow
@EileenChanHu our CEO went to Japan, earlier this year, in February for a study visit #Peace, Hiroshima. Thanks to @CDPB_NI and the Oleander Initiative for this opportunity. Learn like a tree to grow. First pic: Trees that survived the atomic bomb. #PeaceBoulevard #hiroshima
We are delighted at this news of Professor Piotr Blumczyński! Well deserved. Great memories of being involved in facilitating the focus groups for ‘Translating Values.’ This is an amazing book and resource #culturalawareness #language #attitudes : waterstones.com/book/transla…
I am humbled and delighted to announce my promotion to (Full) Professor at @QUBelfast!
Updating my office door, I found all my previous tags tucked in there: a cool visual narrative of personal/institutional history.

Our first speaker @eileenweir6 remembers that the Good Friday Agreement was impossible to understand without a university degree, so people really relied on their politicians, and on grassroots women’s organisations, to help them understand before voting 🗳

Next, @Nicole_PKelly3, who is the same age as the Agreement, speaks about what peace means to young people - an end to violence, removal of paramilitaries, and a functioning Executive, among many others.
She asks us to consider if these have been achieved 25 years on #GFA25

Eilish Rooney of @TJI_ would love to see the Good Friday Agreement (Eileen’s easy-read version!) on school curricula, North and South.
📖She reads us some of the Agreement, noting the protections for diversity which are built in. They are alive, she says, but not well.
