Today, to mark UN International Day of Peace and EU Presidency Programme, Monaghan County Council, in partnership with the Embassy of Finland in Dublin - Suomen Dublinin-suurlähetystö, the John and Pat Hume Foundation, and the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation, hosted a seminar entitled: ‘Building Sustainable Peace in a Digitally Transformed World’, which took place at the Monaghan Peace Campus.

This seminar brought together leading voices from the fields of peacebuilding, diplomacy, education, community development, and digital innovation. The event forms part of the global observance of the International Day of Peace, designated by the United Nations as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace through dialogue, cooperation, and understanding among all peoples. This event has been funded through the Department of Foreign Affairs’ Communicating Europe Initiative.

Attendees were welcomed by Cllr. Aidan Campbell, Cathaoirleach of Monaghan County Council, and Niamh Smyth TD, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment with responsibility for Trade Promotion, AI and Digital Transformation.

The first panel on ‘Peacebuilding in Practice: The Northern Ireland Experience, Finland’s Role, and the European Dimension’ included Ambassador of Finland to Ireland, Leena Gardemeister, peacebuilding practitioner Dympna McGlade, and Pat Hynes of the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation.

This was followed by a second panel ‘From Screens to Systems: Women Shaping Peace and Politics in a Digital World’, featuring former TD and Minister Liz McManus, political commentator Linzi McLaren, and Niamh Smyth TD.

Both panels were chaired by the Award-winning broadcaster Audrey Carville.

Tim Attwood, John and Pat Hume Foundation Secretary, addressed the audience before traditional music completed the day’s proceedings.
