Champions For Peace (C4P) (360G-CR-832515)

Funding Organization
£165,000

Despite a formal peace agreement in Northern Ireland between Catholic and Protestant communities, the legacy of conflict continues to manifest itself in the classroom in divided neighbourhoods. Young people from historically divided communities have very few opportunities to interact and in 2012-13, only 7% of primary and post primary pupils attended integrated schools. A grant will support the twinning of up to 32 pairs of P7 classes (11 year olds) in Belfast from both communities for 8 weeks of integrated community relations using sports, including Basketball. Belfast Interface Games and Champions for Peace will provide progress routes and opportunities for those (14-20) showing leadership potential. Young people from historically divided areas will to get to know each other, develop friendships and take part in themed lessons, helping to break down cultural barriers and increase understanding.
