The Decade of Centenaries Roundtable is holding a Resource Fair taking place over three days on 24—26 February 2021. Events held each day from 10 AM – 4 PM.
This FREE event will showcase existing available resources to support organisations to mark the forthcoming 2021 NI Centenary.
The Resource Fair, which takes place online, will provide opportunities to discuss the use of the resources and their application in a way that reinforces the Principles for Remembering.
Decade of Centenaries
The Decade of Centenaries: 1912-1922, included a series of significant events in Ireland that changed the physical, cultural, political and economic landscape today, North and South. The Government of Ireland Act 1920 led to Northern Ireland as a separate legal entity on 3 May 1921, and in approaching the 100th anniversary, we have the opportunity to reflect on this period of time, acknowledging different perspectives and complexities of a contested history that may influence how people view and may respond to this anniversary. The Resource Fair offers a variety of approaches and opportunities for respectful listening and engaging in constructive dialogue about the impact of Partition. of Centenaries
