The Fermanagh and Omagh PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan
Working with a dedicated budget of €5.671,195 under Investment Area 1.1 ‘Building Peaceful and Thriving Communities’, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council with support from the Fermanagh and Omagh PEACEPLUS Partnership has developed a local PEACEPLUS Action Plan.
The Local Action Plan, developed through an intensive co-design process in partnership with local communities will help to build positive relations, celebrate cultural diversity and re-image communities through the provision of new shared spaces and services.
The Action Plan includes 13 programmes across 3 themes.
- Local Community Regeneration and Transformation
- Thriving and Peaceful Communities
- Celebrating Cultures and Diversity
Delivery of a PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan will see participants developing new relationships on a cross community and cross border basis. The range of activities will include sports, arts, culture, music, drama, skills development, understanding culture, history and heritage, which will bring people together and ultimately increase understanding, respect and acceptance for diversity. Groups will become more empowered to increase capacity and engage in community development activities across the district and will work to making a significant and lasting contribution to peace and reconciliation.
Delivery of the Action plan will help enable relationship building which has the potential to last beyond the PEACEPLUS programme.
The long-term impact of delivery of the Action Plan includes:
- Improved understanding and respect for other cultures
- Improved understanding and acceptance of other communities
- Increased opportunities for cross community activities
- Increased confidence in expressing cultural identity/personal background
Over the coming months, a number of Information and Engagement events will be taking place both online and across the district. If you wish to register for updates on the PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan and to be notified of upcoming events please click here.
This project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
