Application Workshops for a New Shared Education Initiative
ASPIRE, a shared education initiative funded through PEACEPLUS, is designed to foster direct and sustained contact between children from all backgrounds across Northern Ireland and the six border counties of Ireland. This multi-year, cross-border partnership is led by the Northern Ireland Education Authority in collaboration with Early Years, the National Childhood Network, Léargas, and the Fermanagh Trust.
🗓️ Workshops for Pre-School Applicants: Early Years and the National Childhood Network have organised workshops to support pre-school settings in the application process and introduce the principles of the ASPIRE Project. These sessions will be a fantastic opportunity to:
