Two Key Foundation-Stones

2016 is for everyone

• 2016 will belong to everyone on this island and to our

friends and families overseas – regardless of political or family background, or personal interpretation of our modern history. 2016 is a historical, commemorative, project

• 2016 will be a year of rich and diverse activities during

which the full complexity of our history can be explored and celebrated.

The Five Themes

 Remember – Commemorating the historic events of 1916 in the full context of our

history

 Reconcile – confronting the divisions of the past and reflect on how the ideals of the

Proclamation were rekindled and contributed to reconciliation

 Imagine – engaging with all of our people to challenge our assumptions to re-imagine

• ur legacy for future generations

 Present – Showing how as a Republic we took our place ‘among the nations’

expressing our individuality through our own distinctive culture

 Celebrate – the idealism of the Proclamation, exemplified by our legacy of UN

peacekeeping, and the developmental and humanitarian work of Irish Aid and our NGOs
