Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation
Glencree contributes to developing the conditions and relationships that support peace and reconciled communities across the island of Ireland, within Northern Ireland, between Ireland and the UK, and internationally. We work with individuals and communities impacted by conflict including victims/survivors, combatants, women, refugee and migrant communities, and other vulnerable minorities. As well as our ongoing work on the island of Ireland, our perspective and expertise has been shared in more than ten conflict and post-conflict countries around the globe.
overview
The Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation is an independent, non-governmental organisation and a registered charity in the Republic of Ireland. We are dedicated to transforming violent conflict and building peaceful, inclusive societies. We bring people and communities impacted by conflict together and help them find pathways to reconciliation and sustained peace through dialogue, relationship building, public discourse and shared learning.
