The visit took the pupils on a journey through time, reflecting on key milestones from the city's history, concluding with a workshop on improving local communities. 

During the session, pupils also had the opportunity to participate in a short mock debate in the council chamber, actively engaging with democratic life.

This session highlighted the importance of collaboration and partnership working in supporting young people to grow and develop within a diverse, shared society.

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.
