In the immediate aftermath of terrorist attacks emergency plans are mobilised and appropriate organisations deployed to address the immediate needs. As normality returns, meeting the longer term needs of the bereaved and survivors is not as well planned. This poject aims to address some of survivors’ longer term needs, often concerned with the context of the event and around acknowledgement and recognition.
Survivors for Peace provides opportunities for people affected by terrorism to come together to; share experiences, learn about the context of the event that affected them and gain skills to turn this painful experience into an opportunity for self development and positive contribution to their own communities. It contributes to the conflict transformation process by enabling victims and survivors to deal with the past.
