Is There a Common Good? Shaping the Present, Building Community

Winter Programme 2022

In this series of eight civic conversations for Northern Ireland and the Border Counties we will explore questions such as, ‘What kind of world would we like to live in by 2030?’, ‘What kind of world would we like for our children and grandchildren?’, ‘What things matter to us in shaping a common good shared by all?’. We will look at the totality of relationships which can shape the common good: –

1. Our relationships with each other in Northern Ireland,
2. Our relationships with each other on the island of Ireland,
3. Our relationships with each other between the Islands of Ireland and Britain
4. And our relationships with the earth.
