Peace Players Project
Over the last few months we at St Joseph’s PS along with Crumlin Integrated PS have been involved in a Cross Community Workshop with Peace Players.
Through the use of sport, and in particular basketball, this project aimed to promote respect and mutual understanding between children from different backgrounds, as well as addressing controversial issues. The two Year 7 classes involved had already worked together through our Shared Education Partnership, so this was another way of consolidating friendships and visiting each others schools. We also had an opportunity to meet in our local Leisure Centre.
The project was funded by Clanmill Housing Association and we thank them for this valuable opportunity. Our local community in Crumlin also supported us. Tesco Crumlin and Crumlin Resident Collective provided us with some refreshments and Mark at Stylus Engraving Crumlin helped to make up reward bags to celebrate the end of the event by supplying us with medals.
This was indeed a very successful project with new skills learned in addition to having lots of fun along the way!
