The Check-in: What's Happening in Northern Ireland?

April 08, 2025 • Telos

In the past year, Telos has launched a new peacemaking travel experience in Ireland & Northern Ireland, to see what we can learn from the history, movement, and current reality of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and how we can support the work of true justice and peace in the area.

While we’re still in the early stages of this program, we traveled with 5 different groups in 2024—and there’s already a lot we’ve learned. In this episode, we hear from Eli Philip, our staff member who runs these trips, on what you might expect from the trip as far as itinerary and locations.

Then we hear from two of our board members who have both recently traveled with us to Ireland & Northern Ireland, Bretta Warren-Kim and Ainka Jackson, about their experiences—what they saw and felt, how it changed their perspective of peacemaking, and why they believe it's important to engage this story as Americans.

If you are interested, we have open spots on our upcoming Ireland & Northern Ireland trip, September 5th - 13th. Go to our website to get all the details. You can register there, or click on “Ask a Question” to contact us and find out more.
