Exploring '68 is a cultural heritage programme with three interconnected themes as its core focus. It centres on an exploration of the period between 1968 and the summer of 1969 that witnessed the emergence of the Civil Rights movement in Northern Ireland just before the onset of the Troubles. As well as exploring the domestic Northern Irish contexts, events and consequences, via a richly diverse programme of activities, there will be an explicit emphasis on broadening the perspective to take into consideration the (rather exceptional) international context of the time.
