Peace III Contributing to a Shared Society opens

• Peace III
• Shared Society

The Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), as Managing Authority for the Peace III Programme has called for applications under Priority 2 - Contributing to a Shared Society

The Theme within this Priority for which applications are invited is: Key Institutional Capacities are Developed for a Shared Society - Area 2: European and international networking; Exchange of best/good practice.

NI and the Border Region can learn lessons from other multi-ethnic and post-conflict societies both within and outside the EU. There is also scope for the sharing of good practice within and between Northern Ireland and the Border Region. This transfer of learning and experience can be centered on best practice for promoting peace and reconciliation.

Applications may propose the following models:

• Projects that promote European and international networking and which develop effective networks leading to the exchange of best/good practice. This may include elements of research.

• Projects to develop linkages that transfer learning and experiences within and between Northern Ireland and the Border Region and other multi-ethnic and post-conflict societies on how the delivery of public services can be developed to promote a shared society.

• Proposals which will enable projects previously supported under the Peace II Programme to further develop their work. (NOTE: This is only relevant where previous support was given for the development of European and international networks which focused on promoting innovative practice and transnational learning).

• Projects which review the impact of previous research in order to embed findings, as yet not implemented, into public policy.

In keeping with the overall aim of the Peace III Programme, applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed operation will reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and promote reconciliation.

This call will close for applications on Monday 15 December 2008 at 5pm.
