TWN, FWIN, UU and YWIL aim to bring women together on a cross-border/cross-community PEACE PLUS Ireland-Northern Ireland environment working together in a learning environment that facilitates learners in becoming engaged citizens who will contribute to positive social change thus moving closer to meaningful social change and long-term peace and reconciliation throughout the island of Ireland.
The project will recruit 1600 women over 4 years in NI and the border counties, meeting the output indicator through the following results:
Undertake OECD Learning Compass 2030 assessment tool by 2028

Progress on to a Peace and Reconciliation pathway
The primary objective of the project is to foster peace and reconciliation by addressing historical grievances, promoting dialogue and building mutual understanding among divided communities.
The expected change includes reduced sectarian tensions, increased cross-community engagement and the empowerment of individuals and groups to contribute positively to a shared society.
The project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
