The ACT Initiative – North Down

‘Who am I?’ is a developmental and support process aimed at stimulating exploration of individuals’ experiences, perceptions and feelings which range over the past, present and future.  Aimed at engaging individuals within communities who have experienced particular problems associated with segregation, marginalisation and isolation the programme aims to reconnect participants within their communities.  Following a weekend residential, participants engage in a series of follow-up workshops which culminates with individuals sharing their ‘Who am I’ narratives.  The programme is funded through ‘Bridge of Hope’s’ Peace III Exploring the Past Initiative and Stephen Cooke, an associate with The ACT Initiative, is the legacy worker in post.  The first programme was facilitated within the North Down ACT Area Action Group, in partnership with Bangor Alternatives, and members in the picture are seen receiving their Certificates of Completion.
