Coordinated by the Community Relations Council, Good Relations Week 2025 will run from Monday 13 to Sunday 19 October, with a dynamic programme of more than 200 cross-community and multicultural events taking place across all 11 local council areas. This year’s theme, Connect, highlights how lasting progress and a better future for everyone depends on the strong and meaningful links between People, Planet and Prosperity.

The week-long celebration will shine a spotlight on the work of individuals and organisations using connection and collaboration to break down barriers, strengthen community relations and address key societal challenges, including sectarianism, racism, inequality, mental health, poverty and education. The programme of events will include workshops, exhibitions, storytelling, theatre, musical performances, discussions and cultural showcases, providing a platform for shared learning, civic pride, and collective impact. There are plenty of activities to get involved in across the City and Districts.
