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 our 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
