Brexit: Charting a Way Forward – A Civil Society Dialogue

The potential threat that Brexit represents to rights and equalities, the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, the border and the economy in Northern Ireland have been well documented. In trade, education, work, travel and beyond the impacts are becoming clear. It is also clear that threats to rights and equalities do not sit in isolation but also represent distinct threats to business, trade and cross border movement and vice versa.

The Human Rights Consortium, in partnership NICVA and with sponsorship from Unison, is hosting a one day conference to bring various civil society sectors concerned about Brexit together to chart the overlap and intersectionality of those threats and collectively discuss workable solutions that will protect all the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland.

Join us on 15 June to be part of our conversation, across industries and sectors, about how to get an imaginative and flexible deal for NI. The Conference takes place on Thursday, 15 June from 9.30am to 3.15pm in NICVA, Belfast.

Speakers to include:

• Colette FitzGerald, European Commission in Northern Ireland
• Angela McGowan, CBI
• Declan Billington, NI Food and Drink Association
• Louise Coyle, NI Rural Women's Network
• Owen Reidy, ICTU
• Prf David Phinnemore, School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, QUB
