Description

War and conflict is raging across the globe. From Europe and the Middle East to Africa and the Americas, conflicts between and within nations are leaving millions of civilians dead and displaced in their wake.  Northern Ireland has seen its fair share of violence and bloodshed since its founding in 1921. Although the peace agreement was signed more than 25 years ago, the peace process is still a work-in-progress. This week, however, we explore a ground-breaking research project led by Dr. Jocelyn Dautel, an American researcher and senior lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast, into how Northern Ireland’s divisions continue to impact the way young people consume and share “truths” about their nation’s history. Further, the researchers are hopeful that if Northern Ireland is able to evolve beyond sectarian division, the country — and specifically its youth — could serve as a global model of peace and reconciliation.   Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to Stories of Impact wherever you listen to podcasts Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube Share your comments, questions and suggestions at info@storiesofimpact.org Supported by Templeton World Charity Foundation Read more about the period known as The Troubles and the peace agreement that marked the end of the conflict On February 3, 2024, Northern Ireland formed its first government in two years.
