A Day of Reflection will again take place at Belfast City Hall on Sunday 21 June.
Councillors had previously agreed that the event would be held annually, providing an opportunity for people and communities across the city to acknowledge the deep hurt and pain caused by the conflict in and about Northern Ireland.
The event will offer an opportunity for quiet reflection, and there will be a programme of activity between 11am and 1pm.
There will be a screening of a short film by local organisation Healing Through Remembering, prose and poetry and a ‘Thought Tree’ – where attendees can share their hopes for the future.
Party Group Leaders on Belfast City Council said: “As a Council, we will once again participate in this years’ Day of Reflection and to offer a space in City Hall for this to take place.
“We acknowledge that many people throughout the city suffered deeply as a result of conflict.
“As Civic Leaders, we hope that by hosting this annual event and providing a quiet, safe space, it will give people an opportunity to reflect and remember in a way which is personal to them”.
No booking is required to attend the Day of Reflection, and everyone is welcome.
City Hall will also be illuminated in yellow on the evening of Sunday 21 June.
