In these times talking about and emphasising peace feels more important than ever! Grateful and privileged to @CRHIA_NantesLR for inviting me to deliver this important module on EU peacekeeping as part of the MA Peace & Diplomacy programme.
Today, IACES board member @AnnTul8 delivered a course at @CRHIA_NantesLR on 🇪🇺peacebuilding around the 🌍.
Since starting her PhD @uniofgalway she has been striving to nurture students' understanding of peacebuilding. Good job Anna!
Looking forward to this! All welcome that can make it to @nuigalway for this @socandpol research seminar where we will talk about #peace#theorypractice encounters during the troubles in #NorthernIreland
*Appropriating peace theory: encounters between peacemaking practice & conflict resolution theory in N. Ireland* @AnnTul8 & I will present research-in-progress at this @socandpol seminar @nuigalway Thurs 7 Apr 1pm-2pm. All are welcome. #peace#Ireland

SÅ HÄNDE DET: De som var anställda på svenska ambassaden LÄMNADES KVAR. ”Vi får inte veta vad som händer och de lämnade oss kvar på kontoret när vi arbetade. Vi har försökt att kontakta dem men de svarar inte på våra samtal och de har blockerat våra mejladresser.” ->
Sharing our latest piece in today's @IrishTimes. “Peace-building” practices from NI are weaponised as instruments of pacification in Palestine. This is no time for plastic "peacebuilding". @tcddublin@TRiSSTCD@TLRHub @ReligionTCD @AcaforPalestine

We are delighted that our project, Relationships on these islands: the European Union peacebuilding experience, has received funding from @dfatirl's Communicating Europe Initiative. The project is led by @Giadina_1988 and @AnnaTBrett and is a collaboration with @humefoundation
I am posting below my 2002 film, Palestine Is Still the Issue, free to watch. Filmed in Gaza and broadcast worldwide, it was attacked by the same racists who condone the killing of Palestinian children, and of journalists who reveal the truth about Israel.

We have a new interdisciplinary MA in Public Policy at NUI Galway, including a specialist stream on peace and security. Delighted to be working on this exciting programme with colleagues from across the university. Please retweet if you know anyone who might be interested.
‘We need GP-based psychological supports...we need to moderate our over-reliance on a well-meaning charity sector...and most importantly acknowledge the socio-political root-causes which can impact our mental health.’
Thanks @DrMarkMurphy for this piece.
