Theme 4: Cultural Pathways


While a source of pride and community celebration, culture and traditions can also result in negativity, hostility and stereotyping. Challenging this suggest a need to re-examine culture and traditions, to understand its meaning and significance and in turn promote and share culture in a positive manner. Central to this work is understanding of the wider political and historical context within which communities have developed.

  • To explore and examine traditional loyalist culture
  • To place local culture within a historical context
  • To explore and share other cultures and traditions
  • To challenge negative stereotypes and perceptions
