They have previously visited Portstewart Baptist, Agherton Parish Church, Draperstown Presbyterian, Holy Rosary Church, Ballinascreen, St Patrick’s Church, Coleraine and Causeway Coat Vineyard.  They have been meeting the Church Reverends, Priests and Pastors who have taken them on a tour of the buildings and answered lots of questions the pupils had. The pupils have been learning about the similarities and differences in the churches, exploring and experiencing different churches together.

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). It aims to provide direct and sustained contact between children and young people from all backgrounds.
