SEUPB - Priority 2 Contributing to a Shared Society, Theme 1 Creating Shared Public Spaces

1.    Details of the Latest Call

It is unlikely that there will be any further calls for applications under this theme of the PEACE III Programme.

A shared society is one in which public spaces are shared by all members of that society. This objective aims to regenerate urban, rural and border areas that appear derelict, segregated, underused, threatening and/or unwelcoming and transform them into shared spaces.

The intervention seeks to tackle the problems of separation of communities within society and address the underlying problems of sectarianism, racism and prejudice by encouraging the development of physical environments that are not ‘marked out’ with symbols that define it as a territory of one side of a community but as open to and welcoming to all. In particular, through infrastructural developments, the Priority will expand the opportunities for common use, interaction and engagement, and economic development in areas that have been particularly affected by the conflict.
 

2.    Programme Objective

In keeping with the overall aim of the PEACE III Programme, applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed operation will reinforce progress towards a peaceful and stable society and promote reconciliation. Proposals must focus on areas and groups that have been affected by the conflict.  (Further details of the target groups and areas are described in sections 4.38 and 4.39 of the PEACE III Operational Programme.)
 

3.    Priority and Theme Objectives

Applications must fully demonstrate how their project will create a genuine shared space and act as a catalyst for transforming the local community. They must also be able to demonstrate how their project is iconic with a capacity to provide a lasting legacy to the PEACE III Programme.
 

4.    Available Funding 

The Peace III Programme is 100% funded, however, SEUPB would encourage projects that are capable of providing an element of public expenditure towards match funding.
