A new £7 million shared community space has opened in west Belfast, replacing 30 meters of peace wall on the former Finlay's factory site. The Black Mountain Shared Space facility aims to foster cross-community engagement and provide a base for joint programming.

Our Peace Barriers Programme (PBP) is designed to be the first step in a process leading to the physical removal of barriers. Find out how these interventions within and between interface communities develop here: internationalfundforireland.com/what-we-do/pea…

It would have been interesting to overlay the @BIP_Interfaces Map of #Belfast #peacelines on these maps, to understand their impact on people's perceptions of threat. @Domsball @bsturgeon82. #Interfaces @FundforIreland @Justice_NI
