TENDER FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY OF A PEACEPLUS PROGAMME ‘EXPLORING LOCAL HERITAGE’

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council (FODC) invite tenders for the design, development, delivery and evaluation of a PEACEPLUS Programme focusing on the Exploring Local Heritage – Know Your Place project. Building on the engagement already undertaken through the development of FODC's first Heritage Plan, and the Expression of Interest process to be part of the ‘Exploring Local Heritage’ programme, the project will design, deliver and evaluate a district-wide heritage programme. The programme will engage a minimum of 350 residents across the seven District Electoral Areas of Fermanagh and Omagh to explore, interpret and share their local heritage, while building skills, strengthening cross-community relationships and supporting peacebuilding through inclusive, creative and participative activity. Key Objectives: • Connect communities in sharing their local history through inclusive, accessible and engaging heritage activities. • Capture and record stories that reflect the physical, social and cultural evolution of our towns, villages, landscapes and waterways. • Provide training in creative heritage interpretation, including music, oral history, storytelling, and visual and digital media. • Promote peacebuilding through shared exploration of diverse narratives from across the district. • Celebrate cultural roots and commonalities through cross-community and cross-border activities, enhancing mutual understanding and respect FODC welcomes consortium applications involving a range of community, heritage and cultural organisations.
