Campaign: | To show the benefits of an integrated education |
The first time I noticed a difference between me and some of my classmates was at primary school.
Back then, I didn’t understand Catholic and Protestant, I just knew that when we did our first communion, only 6 or 7 pupils joined me.
I find it strange that in Northern Ireland many still harbour ill-will towards others just because they were raised in a certain way.
I now study at an integrated college and have gained a great understanding of different backgrounds and cultures as a result.
With Fixers, I want to show the benefits of this type of education.
My team and I believe that creating an environment of mutual respect from an early age is the key to bridging divides for future generations.
