Background

Understanding Our Area – People and Places was a cross-community project supported by the European Union’s PEACE IV Programme. It set out to increase the understanding and expression of our culture and history, our people and places, through museum collections, historic sites and cultural heritage using interpretation, arts and multimedia to create a peace building legacy. The initiative is part of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s PEACE IV Local Area Action Plan, funded by the European Union’s PEACE IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body, which is providing £3.8 million for community projects across the borough.

Between 2017 and 2020, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Museum Services supported a range of community-led projects, along with a range of events, showcases and resources exploring the history of the Causeway area.

Glór, Dhún Geimhin

Glór Dhún Geimhin developed a heritage trail in Dungiven, accompanied by a brochure giving details on the sites. As part of their project they also developed the script and media content for a future audio-visual presentation which will allow the stories of the sites on the heritage trail to be shared with a wider audience.

Hardcopies of Glór’s heritage trail brochure are free and can be picked up from Glór, Dhún Geimhin, from Ballymoney Museum, or by contacting Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Museum Services through this website.

Digital copies of the brochure may be downloaded from here.
