The Questionnaire
Journeys Out is premised on the view that community leaders
have an important part to play in peace-building. We are looking
at the reasons and motivations why individuals and communities have
sought to deal with the past, especially in relation to the conflict
in Northern Ireland.
Questions
- What work do you currently do at community level?
- How did you become involved in community relations/development
work? Was there a specific trigger or reason behind this?
- If circumstances
had been different – and there had not been
a conflict here – how might your own life have been different?
Did you always intend to engage in community relations/development
work?
- How have you (and the community you represent) dealt with the legacy
of the conflict?
- What has been done already?
- What still
remains to be done/are there any outstanding needs?
- From your own perspective what are the challenges to you doing
this sort of work?
- At a community level
- At a personal
level
- How do you feel
about your own role in community relations/development work to
date – what have been the high
and low points?
- Has your approach to your work changed over the years? If so, how?
- What role/impact do you think you have played/your work has played
in the wider peace process?
- Are there any lessons from your own experience and journey as a
peace-builder and community leader that you feel others could learn
from?
- Has Northern Ireland/the North of Ireland/the Six Counties* (delete
as appropriate) any lessons for other areas around the world that
may have emerged from (or are about to emerge from) armed conflict?
- What do hope to gain from your participation in Journeys Out?
