This year’s theme is Include. Press play to meet some of the people bringing it to life across Northern Ireland.
Good Relations Week 2026, taking place from 12th to 18th October, embraces ‘Include’ as its theme, recognising that stronger communities are built when everyone feels welcomed, valued and respected.
This year’s campaign highlights the importance of inclusion, understanding and connection across all backgrounds, cultures and communities.
By showcasing the creativity, dedication and impact of local groups, organisations and individuals, we can highlight the positive work taking place to address challenges such as division, racism, inequality, isolation, health and wellbeing, poverty and education.
Get involved in Good Relations Week 2026 and help create a future where everyone feels they belong.
