**The long delayed Peace IV programme for Northern Ireland and Border regions will
soon release a detailed timetable for funding calls.**

The programme’s Monitoring Committee will approve the timetable later this month
along with dates for funding workshops relevant to all of the programme’s specific
objectives.

In line with the Europe 2020 strategy the European Commission requires that all 
of the new 2014-2020 programmes be more ‘concentrated’. PEACE IV will focus on a
narrower range of activities to ensure that there is sufficient available funding
to bring about significant change.

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) contribution to the programme is €
229 million. Up to 85% of funding is available under the ERDF. The remaining 15%
will normally be provided by the Northern Ireland Executive and the Irish Government.

The [PEACE Programme](http://www.seupb.eu) has four key priority areas:

• Shared Education: – To increase the level of direct, sustained and [curriculum-based contact between pupils and teachers](https://blog.curriculosolutions.com/how-to-bring-your-curriculum-into-the-digital-age)
from all backgrounds.

• Children & Young People: – To help young people, in particular, those not in education,
employment and/or training (NEETs) to develop a greater understanding and respect
for diversity; access new opportunities and become active citizens.

• Shared Spaces & Services: – To create new shared spaces and services where people
from different communities and backgrounds can come together to learn from and respect
each other.

• Building Positive Relations at a Local Level: – To create a society characterised
by good relations and respect, where cultural identity is celebrated and people 
can live, learn and socialise together free from prejudice, hate and intolerance.
