Youth ambassadors and murdered policeman's widow

Two Durham University students who led a mass peace campaign in Northern Ireland are helping to launch a new network for peace across the UK. The students, Enya Doyle, aged 18, (BA Music ) and Lauren Sloan, aged 19, (LLB Law ), are helping to establish a programme of peace lectures at UK universities, and to set up peace societies in schools across Northern Ireland and parts of the Republic of Ireland. Four years ago, the pair set up a music and campaign group in response to the murder in 2009 of Constable Steve Carroll, the first police officer to be murdered in Northern Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement. Their cross-community Celtic music group, called 'Not in My Name', inspired a mass protest movement following the murder of Constable Ronan Kerr, in 2011, when tens of thousands of people attended a rally for peace and held up placards saying 'Not in my Name', calling for an end to violence. The new peace network's launch event in England, part of the Josephine Butler College 2013 Seminar Series at Durham University, takes place on Monday 18 February. Enya and Lauren, the first two youth ambassadors for the Steve Carroll Foundation, will be talking about their 'Not in My Name' campaign experiences and their work with the Steve Carroll Foundation , set up by Kate Carroll, the widow of Steve. Campaigner Mrs Carroll will also attend the Durham launch event to highlight the work she has begun in setting up the foundation.
