Forward Thinking Workshop with Colin Harvey (QUB) & Aoife Clements (50:50 NI), Tues 17th Feb 7pm
Holywell Trust is please to welcome Colin Harvey and Aoife Clements to take part in our next Forward Thinking workshop, on Tuesday 17th February at 7.00pm.
This is one of a series of workshops exploring different attitudes and issues related to the constitutional future of Northern Ireland/ Ireland/ United Kingdom.
Holywell Trust does not have a preferred outcome on the constitutional future question, and we do not endorse a particular viewpoint on this sensitive issue. Our role is to facilitate dialogue and exploration of different views relating to this debate.
