Sligo County Council has been awarded funding under the PEACE IV Programme to implement their PEACE Action Plan. The funding will be utilised to support a number of locally-based projects and initiatives that will promote positive relations between people from different communities and backgrounds. The PEACE Action Plan will be focused on three key areas: Children & Young People; Shared Spaces & Services; and Building Positive Relations. The Shared Spaces & Services theme will result in the development of a shared space in Stephens Street in Sligo City that will provide a venue for artistic, musical, cultural and heritage related events and displays.
