Thanks Geraldine.

St. John the Baptist’s College and Clounagh Junior School have the opportunity to run a shared education project entitled “Together: Building a United Community - Portadown Educates Together”. The project runs from September to December.

The aims of the project are:

• To promote positive attitudes towards people from different backgrounds
• To develop contacts and friendships between young people from different backgrounds
• To encourage a shared community through shared activities
• To recognise the role of young people in peace building
• To create a safe community for young people and enable the sharing of experiences
• To promote and develop cultural expression and a better understanding of and respect for cultural differences

We run the workshops in both schools and in the local community. Some of the events include;

• Team building activities – ‘it’s a knockout’
• Group discussions on current issues facing our 2 communities
• Sponsored walk
• 3 day residential in Shannaghmore
• ICT activities
• Final celebration event with staff and parents

Some of the pictures below will give you an idea of the fun we had.
