The day offered pupils a blend of hands‑on Scratch coding, energetic Gaelic games, and an engaging workshop on culture and identity- led by the Speedwell Trust. 

Pupils collaborated within groups, comprising of children from all three schools. They explored digital skills, teamwork, and shared heritage, which helped in building confidence, friendships, and a deeper understanding of one another.

PEACEPLUS ASPIRE (Advancing Shared Partnerships through Inclusive Relationships in Education) is led by the Education Authority (EA), alongside Léargas, Early Years- the organisation for young children, National Childhood Network (NCN) and the Fermanagh Trust. The project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
