Our new Year 13s took part in a second workshop with Jo Berry, whose powerful story of reconciliation after the loss of her father in the 1984 Brighton bombing inspired students to explore what it means to be a changemaker and turn a problem into a positive force for change.
Thrilled to take the new documentary, The Hardest Bridge’, to West Belfast. ‘Féile an Phobail hosted a thought-provoking discussion with Pat Magee and Jo Berry. It offered a powerful reminder of the importance of dialogue, reconciliation and the lessons that can help build a more peaceful future’
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thanks for taking my call today, I always love speaking with you! I appreciate your warmth and understanding of me and all I do. Thanks! 💜

My heart goes out to everyone grieving the loss of Ann Widdecombe. Having lost my own father, Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry, to terrorism I know a little of the impact. Let us reject hatred, choosing compassion over hostility, unity over division and always dialogue rather than violence.

In the last three years at Borderlands we have brought together conversations with victims and ex-combatants from different sides. It was a huge privilege last night to host Jo Berry CBE and Pat Magee last night at the Black Box.
I am thrilled to be speaking with Pat Magee on Friday the 16th of May in London. Still tickets left, I will talk about what happens when we demonise people, that’s how Pat could kill my Dad. Seeing humanity in others is way to create peace. www.eventbrite.ie/e/jo-berry-a...

Such moving feedback from Limavady. Youth Worker said do you know that young person never speaks up and we were shocked” The young person said “ the workshop was amazing and the reason why I opened up was because I could relate to Jo and I just felt it was safe to speak up” This is why I do my work
I am so happy today Martyn’s Law got Royal Assent! I am privileged to be Figen’s friend and with my role at Survivors Against Terror play a small part. She is so inspirational!
Legislation aimed at preventing and reducing the harm of terror attacks at events venues has been given Royal Assent. We congratulate @FigenMurray who inspires us and shows us what one grieving mother can do. Thank you Figen for making our world safer. youtu.be/ktRpPkjfDu0?...
