Ceasefire Generation
What is it like to grow up in post-conflict Northern Ireland? What are the issues facing the so-called Ceasefire Generation?
In early 2020, we sat down with ten young people to talk to them about life in Northern Ireland. From these interviews, we’ve created a 6-part docuseries offering a portrayal of the attitudes, reflections, passions and ambitions of a generation of young people born after 1998 - the Ceasefire Generation.
