 INCORE
Research: Education and Conflict
Education and Conflict Research is located within the UNESCO Centre and
concentrates on three core areas:
The UNESCO Centre, based in Coleraine, provides a focus for research
and development on the role of education within divided societies. The
Centre has a special interest in education and the conflict in Northern
Ireland and has specific expertise related to the curriculum theme of
Education for Mutual Understanding, Citizenship, Social, Civic and Political
Education, the Teaching of history in divided societies, and the Development
of integrated schools. A significant strength of the group is the relevance
of its work to policy and practice.
Research projects
in this area include:
Education for Pluralism
This UNICEF funded project headed by INCORE consultant Dr. Tony Gallagher (The Queen's University of Belfast) will result in a paper on policy approaches in multi-ethnic societies, with a main focus on Northern Ireland and other societies where ethnic tensions have been evident.(38) |
