The Community Relations Council supports work that seeks to contribute to improved community relations in Northern Ireland. The focus of community relations is on relationships between different groups in Northern Ireland, particularly where there has been distrust, historic tension or conflict. The Council understands that an improvement in community relationships involves commitment to relationships of equity, respect for diversity and interdependence within Northern Ireland. Those seeking funding for single identity projects should be able to demonstrate how their particular project can and will contribute to improving community relations at a local or regional level.

Community relations work in Northern Ireland describes the different kinds of contact that takes place between communities. The aims of community relations work are: To bring about a more understanding, tolerant and anti-sectarian society To promote difference and show how diversity adds a richness to society To encourage meaningful dialogue and sustainable relationships To assist in building confidence within and between communities

Citizenship enables the individual to play an effective role in their society at a local, national and international level. It is a mutual contract between society and the person to behave fairly and with respect.

The Community Relations Council does not run any training courses, however, the Community Work Education and Training Network have compiled a list of courses relevant to the community sector, some of which are listed in this document.

Symbols are an important expression of our culture in Northern Ireland. They illustrate both unity and division but embody the richness and diversity of our society today.
