Who We Are

The Day of Reflection is an initiative of Healing Through Remembering and its Day of Reflection Sub Group.

Healing Through Remembering is a cross-community organisation focused on ways of dealing with the past relating to the conflict in and about Northern Ireland. The organisation is made up of a range of individuals from different political perspectives and social experiences and has been in existence since 1999.

In 2002 HTR carried out a public consultation that asked 'How should people remember the events connected with the conflict in and about Northern Ireland and, in so doing, individually and collectively contribute to the healing of the wounds of society?' In June 2002 the Report of the Healing Through Remembering Project was published. The report outlined six recommendations, one of which was a Day of Reflection.

The Day of Reflection Sub Group comprises a diversity of members with different political perspectives and social experiences. The Sub Group was formed in August 2004 to further investigate and explore the recommendation of a Day of Reflection which was outlined in the 2002 HTR Report.
