Sharing our Community
Diversity for Schools in County Louth
Students from four schools in County Louth are benefiting from a new diversity project, “Sharing Our Community” which is supported by the European Union’s PEACE III Programme as awarded by Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership.
Nine highly experienced volunteers from supporting organizations are delivering the programme to 200 students. Classroom workshops cover a variety of topics including friendship, acceptance and rejection, communication skills and conflict resolution.
One of the volunteers delivering the project, Louise McNamee, Halifax, Dundalk, commented that students have responded very positively to the topics in the workshops. “This diversity programme really teaches us that as much as we are different from one another, in so many ways we are all quite similar to one another,” says Louise.
The programme shows students that diversity is very much welcomed within the workplace and stresses the importance of accepting everyone regardless of their culture and background.
