ABOUT US
The Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation works with individuals
and groups to transform conflict, promote reconciliation, encourage
healthy relationships, and build sustainable peace.
We are an Irish-based, independent, non-governmental organisation.
Founded in **Apply on the website** in response to the conflict in
Northern Ireland, Glencree played an important role in the Irish Peace
Process, bringing together those in conflict for confidential dialogue
and helping to build relationships across divides. As well as our
ongoing work on the island of Ireland, our perspective and expertise
has been shared in more than ten conflict and post-conflict countries
around the globe.
Much of our work takes place at our Peace Centre in the Wicklow
mountains, a welcoming place of hospitality and friendliness, a quiet,
strong space, surrounded by nature and steeped in history. We also
work within the communities we serve. We bring together former
enemies, opposing political factions, people who have suffered
tremendous trauma, distrust or feel hatred toward the other, and
provide an enabling environment where they can talk and listen to each
other as they seek to transform divisive relationships.
