Between 1968 and 1998, approximately 3,600 people died in Ireland due to violent bombings, shootings, and planned murders. Today, every day of the year marks the anniversary of someone’s death. Although the 1998 Belfast Agreement put an end to the Troubles, trauma, victimhood, alienation, and antagonism still infiltrate into many aspects of people's life.  ​​ Every war is fought twice: once for supremacy on the battlefield and then for control of its memory. Numerous narratives attempt to explain the Northern Ireland troubles in Ireland, but most of these resources either present an overly linear view of the country's struggles or they place definitions on blame and blamelessness by singling one perspective out.   ​ It is pivotal to navigate the past with sensitivity and objectivity, avoiding an oversimplification of the overlapping conflicts, violence, and oppression that have occurred on this land. This peace initiative was created under the goal that hopes to, by reflecting on the widespread use of violence, inform the peace-building process in Northern Ireland and inspire innovative solutions for a shared future between all communities. ​
