Thiepval Memorial LOL 1916
This project worked with the minority Protestant community to help them build their confidence through increasing their awareness of the history and culture surrounding their community. It also strengthened cross-border social infrastructure by twinning with a group of a similar nature in a neighbouring county in Northern Ireland. The main action of this project was to visit the battle sites of the Somme and remember those who lost lives from both sides of the community. This gave the groups from both sides of the border the opportunity for a frank and open discussion on the shared history.
