We’re delighted to launch Let’s Talk–Dialogue Development!

This week, Phoenix Education Centre launched our new Let’s Talk–Dialogue Development project at Lisburn Civic Centre.

Over the coming months, the project will bring together 200 people from across Lisburn and Castlereagh for conversations, storytelling, shared learning and visits exploring our history and some of the issues that continue to shape our communities today.

We’ll be creating space for people to talk openly about identity, culture, the legacy of the past and our shared future, hear different perspectives and build greater understanding across communities.

We’re looking forward to working with local organisations and communities as the programme gets underway.

The Let’s Talk–Dialogue Development project is supported by the PEACEPLUS Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). PEACEPLUS is co-funded by the European Union, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Executive.

With the 2026/27 school year just around the corner, we’ve put together some slides to guide to help families and young people prepare for the year ahead.

We're also sharing the link to CYPSP's guide which can be downloaded below.

From navigating new routines and busy schedules to back to school shopping and preparing emotionally for a fresh start, it’s completely okay to need a little extra support.

At Phoenix Education Centre, we have a range of resources and support available. We’re always happy to help, answer questions, or point you in the right direction

Take a look through the below resources and remember, you don’t have to do it all alone.

As GCSE results day is here, we know that anxiety and stress can run high. While you are busy thinking about every worst possibility, We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone to give yourself some grace and be kind to each other.

While holding space for the weight of Results Day, it is important to recognise the hard work you've put in and take pride in yourself for trying your best.

No matter the outcome, support is always here for you.
