Transforming political & inter-communal conflict since 1974

The Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation works to prevent and transform political and inter-communal conflict and build peaceful, inclusive societies. We bring individuals and groups impacted by conflict together and help them find pathways to reconciliation and sustained peace through facilitated dialogue, relationship-building, public discourse and shared learning.
