    Exclusive interview:
    Minister describes shared future

    In an exclusive interview for the Northern Ireland Foundation, Margaret Ritchie describes her own motivations for a shared future, from both her political perspective as well as from her duties as an Executive Minister.

    Welcome to our future together!

    The Northern Ireland Foundation is a private, charitable, independent organisation that operates to help address the legacy of conflict in Northern Ireland and to develop a future built through trust and working together. We believe that the re-establishment of a devolved administration at the Northern Ireland Assembly provides an ideal opportunity to develop a more cohesive society.

    We work to secure a durable peace in Northern Ireland.
     
    While important to learn and apply the appropriate lessons for the peace processes here to other areas of conflict across the world, there is much to learn from others' experiences, and that it is not the case of simply transplanting methods elsewhere; the dialogue must be two way.

    We are working for a progressive and outward-looking Northern Ireland society, where local people take responsibility for their own futures, in a setting of a culture of tolerance and reconciliation among all individuals and all identities.

    In order to achieve this, we will focus our efforts on:
    • Strengthening positive attitudes towards our future together

    • Developing leadership programmes

    • Commissioning and applying appropriate international research
