As part of its role the Commission will: - identify and acknowledge the opportunities presented by having a rich diverse community in which cultural expression can be celebrated; - consult with the established and new elements of our community; - identify key areas of commonality as well as difference; - consult with the UK and Irish Governments as appropriate, should its work touch on the expression of sovereignty, national identity and political allegiance in a divided society; and - encourage shared learning, active listening and understanding in a meaningful way across traditional boundaries. It will also examine and seek to co-design with all sections of our community innovative solutions to address: - the divisive nature of displays and expression of identity; - specific contentious instances-events; - sources of conflict which arise in displays and expression of cultural identity and in some cases sovereignty, national identity and allegiance and which compound the reality of living in a contested society; - an agreed protocol around public flag displays; and - displays and expressions of identity, or objection to such displays and expressions being used to provoke. Being part of the Commission will allow the opportunity to contribute to a number of shared outcomes: - the development of a Community where cultural expression is celebrated and embraced; - the development of an open, tolerant and mutually respectful society, which seeks to increase and deepen understanding of differing cultural identities and expressions of these; - the development of a shared identity that relies on its mutual interdependencies and seeks to identity areas of common value; - an improved approach to dealing with contested displays and expressions of identity ; - maximise opportunities to achieve significant reductions in manifestations and levels of Hate Crime; - the development of a society that can seek to identify areas of commonality and have constructive debate around where challenges remain; and - maximise opportunities to promote benefits of diversity and cult...
