II.1.4) Short description
Apex would like to invite tender applications for provision of independent Conflict Awareness & Transformation Programmes to include;
• Lot 1 - WWI (Messines) Programme
• Lot 2 - Poland / Holocaust Programme
• Lot 3 - Balkans Programme
Each of these 3 programmes will be delivered in 2 parts with the option of accreditation at OCN level(s) for participants. Each individual programme should additionally be open to adaptation regarding needs and interests of participants on any given programme and Apex, along with any delivery partners, will have final approval of all itineraries and workplans.
Apex reserves the right to not proceed or to shorten any stage, all completed elements will be paid on a pro-rata basis.
The projects seek to educate and inspire change in our communities through programmes which examine and explore complex periods of conflict and atrocities from history and how learning, peacebuilding and transformation have been enabled in the chosen areas / regions and communities.
• Lot 1 - WWI (Messines): The programme will focus on conflict resolution and addressing the differences between our communities by exposing them to the shared history of 1917 when Nationalists and Unionists fought and died side by side during WWI, with a focus on the Story of Brotherhood and the Battle of Messines on 7 June 1917.
• Lot 2 - Poland / Holocaust: The aim of this programme is to focus on Holocaust awareness, exploring the atrocities of the antisemitic events which took place over Europe during and before WW2. Learning should include examining hate crime in communities today and work underway to help to eliminate this.
• Lot 3 -Balkans: The aim of this programme is to explore how the conflict in former Yugoslavia and post conflict peacebuilding can have learning for communities in Northern Ireland. The programme will explore legacy issues, sectarianism, co-existence / communality / single identity and shared living experiences, community development, ethnicity, commemoration and memorialisation, peacebuilding, policing, language and cultural issues, territorial / border issues, and relationships with EU.
