I recently received a copy of video showcasing the CASE celebration event at QUB Whitla Hall back in Feb, where I make a brief cameo appearance (at 02:12) highlighting the benefits shared education! The Programme is now closed (June 2023) and my evaluation work complete, but it is clearly not the end of and peace building activities. I remain passionate about this work and keen to hear how the new PEACEPlus Programme will carry on the mantle. Special EU Programmes Body - SEUPB

As the PEACE IV EU funding comes to an end, as well as my evaluation work, it is good to reflect and appreciate our role in helping to shape programmes that contribute to reconciliation and cross-border working. I was fortunate to be the Impact Evaluator of Shared Education responsible for assessing outcomes achieved from the £33m+ investment. I also led a team that created a digital archive - the ‘PEACE Programmes Learning Platform’ for SEUPB - a significant online resource documenting the evolution of PEACE and showcasing €2.3bn of EU funded projects over the last 25yrs!

All big undertakings for a small business… but we delivered!

Good to see this phase of work complete and looking forward to transitioning to new job opportunities
