SAVE Northern Ireland Project team
May da Silva is Director of Women into Politics, a feminist organization that lobbies the government on behalf of the women’s sector and which actively promotes women in civic and political decision-making roles. The programs May’s organization offers serve as best-practice models for SAVE strategies and projects.
Women into Politics offers, for example, political education skills programs to women across Northern Ireland. May da Silva is also the Vice Chair of Women’s News Northern Ireland, Chair of the Northern Ireland Policing Board’s Women’s reference group, and part of the NI Peace by Piece Consortium.
Anne Carr is a pioneer in reconciliation and peace building in Northern Ireland. Currently she is working as a co-coordinator of Community Dialogue, a voluntary organisation that encourages people from across communities in Northern Ireland and in the Border Counties to have conversations on the issues which divide the people so that they can transform understanding on one another’s needs and support the creation of a shared and equal society. The organization just launched their new "Steps into Dialogue" project which will see an ever increasing number of people having the opportunity to share with, hear, and learn from one another through a series of workshops, residentials and extended programmes shaped to meet the needs of the participants.
