“There is a clear legacy aspect to the Border Lives project which has potential to contribute on an ongoing basis to peace building both in Northern Ireland and the southern border counties and in other conflict contexts. There is scope for the project resources to be used in a range of settings: educational, community and online and with a range of audiences both single identity and cross-community and with young people, those who lived through the conflict as well as newcomers…. The innovative use of new technology and social media to address these issues is a core element of this project and brings a new dimension to dealing with what are, in many cases, very old and long standing issues”
