Jo was 27 when her father Sir Anthony Berry died in the Brighton Bombing. Forty years on, she's dedicated her life to promoting peace.
In the last three years at Borderlands we have brought together conversations with victims and ex-combatants from different sides. It was a huge privilege last night to host Jo Berry CBE and Pat Magee last night at the Black Box.
I am thrilled to be speaking with Pat Magee on Friday the 16th of May in London. Still tickets left, I will talk about what happens when we demonise people, that’s how Pat could kill my Dad. Seeing humanity in others is way to create peace. www.eventbrite.ie/e/jo-berry-a...
Such moving feedback from Limavady. Youth Worker said do you know that young person never speaks up and we were shocked”
The young person said “ the workshop was amazing and the reason why I opened up was because I could relate to Jo and I just felt it was safe to speak up”
This is why I do my work
I am so happy today Martyn’s Law got Royal Assent! I am privileged to be Figen’s friend and with my role at Survivors Against Terror play a small part. She is so inspirational!
So excited about this! At last!!
I am excited to be speaking in London at the Empathy Week event. I will share my story of moving from having an enemy to finding a place of empathy, and how we can move from hate and demonisation to one of understanding and seeing each other's humanity. #Empathy

Exceptional inspirational morning with young people in Lurgen, who asked me such deep thoughtful questions. Then they worked on their vision for a more just peaceful world, sharing their ideas with such wisdom and intelligence. The feedback was profound and touched me deeply.

Thanks Glenn, I would love to come but heading for Birmingham and a conference to mark 50 years since Birmingham bombings. Your event sounds fascinating.
On my way to Belfast for a day with Community Restorative Justice Ireland to mark and promote Restorative Justice. Such a privilege to be contributing during #RJweek #empathy #FirstPost
