Whatever You Say, Say Something


The Whatever you say, say something programme offers opportunities for conversations considering a wide range of issues around dealing with the past. HTR's trained facilitators will work with groups and organisations to identify their interests for these conversations.

Why?

Saying something about the past can help to create a more peaceful future, while saying nothing can help to maintain divisions.

What is dealing with the past?

Dealing with the past is about addressing 'what occurred; in relation to the conflict in and about Northern Ireland.

The Challenge

Individuals and community have survived the conflict in a context of 'whatever you say say nothing'. The challenge is to find ways to discuss both the political and personal issues that are safe for individuals and communities.

The Opportunity

If embraced in an appropriate manner, dealing with the past can present a real opportunity for individuals and communities to deal with - and overcome - the divisions of the past and be better prepared for shaping a more peaceful future.
