It was the culmination of a series of workshops funded by The Executive Office’s Good Relations scheme where the following themes were addressed:
• Storytelling & Narrative Work as a vehicle for Dealing with the Past
• Core Values for Dealing with the Past
• Ethical Principles for Storytelling & Narrative Work
• The Stormont House Agreement & Northern Ireland Office Consultation (2018)
Drawing from the insights from the workshops, the event at The MAC looked at the 2018 NIO consultation against the backdrop of the
public consultation in 2001/2 from which Healing Through Remembering originated.
