Peace III Update

Louth VEC PEACE III Project has received confirmation from the Louth Peace and Reconciliation Partnership to roll out its proposed training plan for 2010.

The training plan outlines how the project intends to provide capacity building training, language skills and facilitation to members of the Polish, African, Lithuanian, Travellers and Muslim communities in Louth and the Newry and Mourne area.

Additionally, the project intends to work with Louth VEC schools to implement a whole school approach to address issues of sectarianism and racism. The Project initially intends to pilot this work in St.Oliver’s Community College Drogheda. The whole school approach includes elements for parents, teachers, pupils and the school environment. The Louth VEC PEACE III Project then hopes that this pilot will be rolled out to other Louth VEC schools for the period 2010/2011.
