Shared Future News is an online publication that reports on peacebuilding work in Northern Ireland and wants to update and publish new content. Its website includes news articles and stories about peacebuilding work, concise research articles, and a chronology of the peace process and community relations policy. This content is provided to inform audiences interested in the Northern Ireland peace process particularly and intercommunal relations, diversity, and equality generally.
