‘Ethical and Shared Remembering: Resource and Information Booklet’ is the seventh publication of the Ethical and Shared Remembering Project which was established as a means of “exploring and constructing an ethical value base for the people living on this island, based on the principles of an inclusive and fully integrated society.”

Addressing the decade 1912-1922 the Project seeks new discoveries and breakthroughs, as well as new ways of looking at old problems.

Drs Johnston McMaster and Cathy Higgins will spearhead the project which will be rolled out across the island over the next three years.

Dr Johnston McMaster said: “The decade of 1912-1922 shaped the rest of the 20th century to the present. The way in which centennial events will be commemorated will shape the future relationships on the island of Ireland hopefully in a way that is healing and reconciling.

“We look forward to working across the sectors sharing a journey of education and peace building.”

Six publications of the project to date are in the public domain. Two new publications; ‘Ethical and Shared Remembering: Resource and Information Booklet’ and ‘Signing the Covenant: But Which One?’ will be available at the launches: Londonderry, Tuesday, June 19 at the Tower Hotel 12.30pm and Belfast, Friday , June 22 at the Linenhall Library at 12.30 pm.
