Interfaces

Public Achievement has been working with young people in interface communities in Belfast.  These are communities next to so-called 'Peace Walls' that divide our city.  In spite of political progress, Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided and segregated place. 

Young people tell us what they think of the walls, and how these barriers impact on their lives.

 
Ballymurphy, Peace Channel
