Lessons in primary schools across Northern Ireland could take an interesting twist as Ulster Weans CD Rom gives a hi-tech edge to learning.
| There will be real, genuine involvement of young people in the project. |
Inspired by wall friezes originally designed by the Community Relations Council, the Nerve Centre has decided to take things one step further with the development of a CD Rom.
This interactive journey invites children to explore diversity not just among the Catholic and Protestant traditions but also among the wider community that exists in Northern Ireland.
Aisleain McGill, community relations officer said:
"A large proportion of children who are from Chinese, Indian or Asian backgrounds will be included in the CD Rom.
"They are going to talk about the type of food they eat or the way they worship.
"There will be real, genuine involvement of young people in the project, you will be able to click on the screen and watch someone doing Irish dancing or playing in a pipe band or sport.
"And you will be able to hear them talk about it."
