On 5 November, teachers and school leaders from Cyprus visited Partnership 104, Faughart Community National School, as part of the DialoguED Study Visit. The visit provided an opportunity to learn about PEACEPLUS ASPIRE and to engage directly with educators delivering Shared Education in practice.
Discussions focused on collaboration between schools, relationship-building across communities, and the vital role of teachers and education play in creating meaningful learning experiences that promote dialogue, inclusion and mutual understanding. The visit also showcased the partnership's ongoing work, highlighting how sustained collaboration between schools can strengthen professional learning, build trust and create lasting benefits for both educators and learners. During the visit, 6th Class pupils shared their experiences of participating in the programme, presenting their highlights and showcasing artwork that reflected their learning and engagement.
Visits such as these highlight the impact of PEACEPLUS ASPIRE in bringing people together through shared learning and meaningful exchange. By connecting educators from different backgrounds, communities, and contexts, the programme supports the development of stronger relationships, greater understanding, and a shared commitment to inclusive education.
PEACEPLUS ASPIRE (Advancing Shared Partnerships through Inclusive Relationships in Education) is a collaboration between Léargas, the Education Authority (lead partner), 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.
