Mid and East Antrim PEACEPLUS Youth Programme – Research and Development Services and Consultancy

PEACEPLUS is a peace and reconciliation initiative funded by the European Union, UK Government, Northern Ireland Executive, and Irish Government, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). This opportunity seeks research and development services and related consultancy to support the Mid and East Antrim Council's Youth Programme, which is part of the broader PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan. The Youth Programme falls under the 'Thriving and Peaceful Communities' theme and aims to foster cross-community collaboration among young people to identify local issues and opportunities, develop collaborative projects, and promote positive community change. Successful proposals should support initiatives that build relationships between young people from different communities, enhance individual wellbeing, strengthen community connections, and empower youth to lead transformative programmes that celebrate cultural diversity and promote respect for all cultural identities. The programme complements existing community planning and good relations approaches at the local level.
