The Dance of Co-Existence Project | Peace Heroines Northern Ireland

The Dance of Co-Existence Project

In 1998, The Dance of Co-Existence project, co-ordinated by Sr Deirdre Mullan of the Sisters of Mercy, brought together teenagers from ‘both sides of the divide’ (Protestant and Catholic) to look at each other’s history and culture and express their differences and understandings through dance.

This group of young people was invited to perform in Dublin for the President of Ireland and representatives from all second-level schools in Ireland.

Religious Women and the Peace Process

As we mark the 25th Anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, this exhibition is an introduction to the women who worked for peace.
