How will these resources help you?

The emotional finale to the television series Derry Girls (C4) showed the importance of the Good Friday Peace Agreement for a hopeful future for Northern Ireland. These resources focus on initiatives that help foster peace in communities, particularly between Protestant and Catholic Christians. The list has many examples of initiatives from and with young people, many of whom were born after the peace agreement was signed but aware of the Troubles and committed to a peaceful future together. Teachers can use this in several ways: to look at Christian ecumenical practices; to explore this important part of Christian history in the UK and Republic of Ireland; to show the importance of young people in driving change in their communities; or as part of a unit on peace and conflict more generally.
