‘Inclusion Through Sport’ at Massereene Golf Club, Antrim, on Tuesday will be hosted by Trevor Ringland, MBE and Michael Boyd of the IFA, two leading local figures in the promotion of peace building through sport.

They will address how sport can make a difference to promoting good relations locally and provide examples of good practice initiatives that will inspire and motivate more sports groups to engage in good relations and peace building work. There will also be input from local sports projects who will share their experiences with participants.
