Good Relations Week
goes Virtual for 2020
Good Relations Week 2020 is going to be a little different this year.
We have decided to run Good Relations Week 2020 as a free virtual, online experience, running from Monday 14th to Monday 21st September 2020 – and we’d really love you to get involved!
This is a big year for us: celebrating 30 years of outstanding community relations work. So we’re determined to deliver a giant online showcase and celebration of the work of people and communities in creating and sustaining good relations in Northern Ireland.
The theme for Good Relations Week 2020 is Celebrating Our Journey. Embracing Our Future.
We are encouraging local community groups and organisations, statutory bodies and local councils to get involved and host an online event or to create a piece of digital content that will demonstrate the spirit of good community relations in 2020.
This might be an online workshop, a Zoom lecture or panel discussion, a collaborative podcast, a virtual musical or dance performance, storytelling, a work of individual or community art or craft or a photography exhibition capturing the here and now of your community, or your vision for the future.
If you have archive material, it could be a compilation video of film footage, photography, or interviews from our 30-year history.
We need your help, so please get involved in making this year’s virtual Good Relations Week 2020 a modern celebration of Northern Ireland’s diverse culture and heritage.
