Imagining Reconciliation:
creative approaches to peacebuilding
Building Improbable Relationships
Building improbable relationships is
at the heart of Glencree’s work to help
‘weave a web of relationships’
across societies affected by violent conflict.
Glencree
creates a 'safe space' to allow
difficult conversations to take place
“The contribution that Glencree has made
to reconciliation and the building
of positive relationships, across the island and beyond,
is immense and well recognised.”
- Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland.

Our Work
Who We Work With
Glencree has learnt that successful peacebuilding requires engaging in an inclusive process with all those involved in and affected by violent conflict.
Our Approach
Our main approach is dialogue, bringing people together to engage in difficult conversations. Another is learning.
Impact of Our Work
For more than 40 years, Glencree has helped build improbable relationships between those affected by and involved in violent conflict, contributing to reducing violence and building a lasting peace.
