Monaghan Peace Campus

Closed

The Monaghan Peace Campus will result in the creation of a shared community space comprising a new four-storey community building and parking in the centre of Monaghan town. The activity space in the building includes a Youth Facility (350 sq.m), Cultural Heritage Centre (610 sq.m), Library and Peace archive (481 sq.m), Shared community multi-functional space (1,171 sq.m) Welcome zone and temporary exhibition/event space (743 sq.m) and External events space (3,235 sq.m). The project has been developed with active cross community engagement through consultation sessions, focus groups and online questionnaires. This included representatives of the Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist (PUL) community and Catholic, Nationalist, Republican (CNR) community. The project has, for the first time, secured the involvement, support and commitment of the Orange Order and Ulster Scots Agency. This is the first time either agency has participated in a PEACE Programme in County Monaghan. The project has been designed to increase engagement of individuals and communities on a cross-community and cross-border basis through meaningful, purposeful and sustained activities in a proactive programme of activities and events.
