In this episode of Northern Peacebuilders, we meet David Mitchell, Assistant Professor in Reconciliation and Peace Studies at Trinity College Dublin at Belfast, discussing his personal interest in peacebuilding, academic research, challenges in peacebuilding in Northern Ireland and globally, and the relevance of peace education. David emphasises the need for continuous research and education in peace studies to support practitioners in the field.

This episode was produced from an interview by Dr David McCann, televised by community-based Northern Visions (NVTV) and which received funding from the Community Relations Council. We are grateful to David and both organisations.

Northern Peacebuilders is presented by Allan Leonard and produced by Shared Future News, to highlight the work and efforts of those seeking to contribute to better community relations in Northern Ireland.
