Young Men and Violence Project in Belfast, Northern Ireland

A Public Presentation and Discussion
Hosted by Men For Change Halifax

Date:  Monday, March 13, 2000
Time:  7:30pm
Location:  Universalist Unitarian Church, 5500 Inglis Street, Halifax

Everyone welcome to attend a free public talk on working for peace with
youth on the streets of Belfast.  Our colleagues from Ireland will share
the personal stories of their involvement in the peace and reconciliation
process as well as address the following key points:

* the violence in Northern Ireland over 30 years has had very negative
effects upon youth but it has had some very positive effects in terms of
community action.
* young men are considered by many to be dangerous but they are also
victims rigid ways of defining masculinity.
* we need to listen very carefully to young men to find the solutions of
the problems they pose to themselves and society.
