180 years of real-world impact ... 🌏 This morning we officially launched our 180th anniversary with a celebration event for students, staff, community partners and civic partners. The event blended #music, live art, storytelling and discussion, as attendees heard stories from a number of special guests whose lives and work illustrate Queen’s ongoing impact. A unique highlight of the event was the live creation of an art piece by street artist Zippy, whose bold artwork brought the celebration to life in visual form. Thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate the enduring legacy and future ambitions of Queen's, and we look forward to continuing our 180 campaign throughout the year! #LoveQUB180

Creativity in Cultural Peace Work: Opportunities and Challenges 15 May 2025 12:00 - 16:00 Moot Court, School of Law, QUB Cultural peace work refers to the active and dynamic role of the creative and cultural in peacebuilding. No single cultural form dominates peace work, rather an interconnected mosaic of local, place-specific programmes and groups engage with their landscapes and demographics to do the hard work of reducing cross-community segregation in Northern Ireland in meaningful ways through creative expression. However, such efforts are not always regarded as substantive in their impact on transformative relations nor held as tangible, productive modes of peacebuilding. This Workshop will bring together key community practitioners, city council, writers and academics to examine the significant relationship between creativity, culture and peace in Northern Ireland. Registration and further information: go.qub.ac.uk/Cultural-Peace-…

Re-reading this powerful text on critical voice in #universities. To me, its insights extend beyond those directly impacted by (violent & political) conflict (and conflict legacies). doi.org/10.1016/j.ijedudev.2… doi.org/10.1016/j.ijedudev.2… #SierraLeone and #SriLanka
