🎤 Cottown Connected – Session 2
Tolerance in a Divided Society with Sammy Heenan
📅 Friday 24th October 2025
🕢 7:30pm
📍 Ballygrainey Orange Hall
We’re honoured to welcome Sammy Heenan as part of our Cottown Connected: Conversations for Truth & Tolerance series.
Sammy brings a deeply personal perspective, shaped by his own family’s experience of loss during the Troubles, to reflect on what it means to live with tolerance and understanding in a divided society.
This session will explore:
✅ The importance of tolerance and respectful disagreement
✅ Living well together in a society shaped by history and difference
✅ How personal stories can help challenge prejudice and build bridges
This is a free event funded by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland. Everyone is welcome to come along, listen, and take part in a meaningful community conversation.
