The Centre for Democracy and Peace Building re-launched the Unite Against Hate campaign in partnership with Victim Support NI. The multi-agency driven initiative aims to raise awareness of hate crime among the general public and services available for victims, address the under-reporting of hate crime and promote the benefits of diversity among people in Northern Ireland.
The Centre for Democracy and Peace Building was launched today at the Ulster Museum in Belfast as part of Community Relations Week.
Chairman, John, Lord Alderdice, Directors, Jeffrey Donaldson MP and Liam Maskey, and CEO Eva Grosman, are bringing together the substantial international work they have each been doing separately to jointly offer a more thoughtful exploration of the Irish Peace Process for those from other conflicts who want to hear the Northern Ireland story.
The official launch of Centre for Democracy and Peace Building will take place on Friday, 20 June 2014 at 12.30pm in the Lecture Theatre Ulster Museum, Botanic Gardens, Belfast BT9 5AB.
This launch is a part of the Northern Ireland Community Relations Week 2014.
