A number of institutions in Northern Ireland hosted events or posted material and salutes to the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
One of those institutions was the Open University, which hosted a series of podcasts and also posted a number of articles by various contributors, including Echo editor Ray O'Hanlon.
O'Hanlon's contribution, as part of the "A Peace of Us" project, was a history of Irish American presidential forums and their crucial contribution to the evolution of U.S. involvement in birth of the Northern Ireland peace process.
Another contribution was penned by Henrietta Norton, stepdaughter of the late Mo Mowlam, who was serving as Northern Ireland Secretary when the Good Friday Agreement was reached and signed.
All the essays/articles can be found at https://www.open.edu/openlearn/the-good-friday-agreement.
A four-part podcast series that explores broader themes of post-conflict societies beyond politics, featuring voices from diverse fields such as arts, music, sports, and activism, can be found on Spotify , Apple, or other podcast sources.
