Joined Up: Developing Good Relations in the School Community

This resource was produced jointly by Corrymeela and the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education and was authored by Mary Potter and Nicola Lynagh. The resource was written in 2003 and was specifically developed to
provide more training and support to student teachers, teachers, school senior managers and others involved in education, enabling them to feel more confident in exploring controversial issues with their colleagues or pupils, particularly those relating to identity, diversity and conflict, and to create an appropriate context for this work.
