The Reconciliation Fund awards support to projects that contribute to reconciliation through education, dialogue, culture and commemoration; promote tolerance and respect; challenge stereotypes of one’s own and other communities/identities, and develop and strengthen meaningful cross-border links. All projects are assessed in terms of their potential to meet the objectives of the Reconciliation Fund Strategy.

The application referred to by the Deputy has been received and as part of the current funding round is being assessed. I will announce my decisions on funding in November.
