Co. Louth VEC recently secured PEACE III funding from the Co. Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership to deliver a major project under strand one of the programme which focuses on reconciling disparate communities. The Co. Louth VEC led project is aimed at combating sectarianism and racism on a cross border basis. The Project will run to the end of 2010. Co. Louth VEC has teamed up with two other Co. Louth based organisations to deliver this project: the North South Exchange Consortium based at DKIT and Coexist based in Dundalk town centre. The project is supported by the European Union's PEACE III Programme as awarded by Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership.
Co. Louth VEC PEACE III Project is managed by Eamonn Quinn, Project Co-ordinator with administrative support provided by Aoife Hughes and is based in the Chapel St office of Louth VEC. Eamonn has wide experience working on PEACE funded educational projects and of working within the community and voluntary sector.
Eamonn said “the Louth VEC PEACE III Project has the potential to bring enormous benefits to project participants and the wider community in tackling sectarianism and racism. The Project intends to hold a number of training programmes during 2010 in Co.Louth and possibly South Armagh/South Down to enable participants to deal more effectively with issues of racism and sectarianism within their own communities." Eamonn added he is available to meet with colleagues within the VEC who have a shared interest in this area of work and can see where possible linkages/partnerships might be developed between this project and those currently underway /in the planning process in the VEC’s school/Colleges.
