PEACEPLUS ASPIRE is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the
Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

PEACEPLUS ASPIRE aims to foster peace, reconciliation, and collaboration through Shared
Education. By embedding Shared Education from a young age, the project helps to create a
society where differences are celebrated, and communities thrive together. Through shared
projects and professional collaboration, we are helping to build understanding, respect, and
lasting connections across traditional divides and in response to emerging needs.

PeacePlus Aspire develops peacebuilding skills in young people:
-Activities nurture empathy, emotional regulation, and perspective-taking.
-Pupils practice negotiation, problem-solving, and conflict resolution.
-These are skills for life and for leadership in a shared future.

PeacePlus Aspire helps build peaceful communities and tackle wider societal challenges:
-Activities reflect our local context and celebrate diversity.
-Pupils learn to understand and respect difference.
-Shared education helps reduce division and builds a shared sense of
belonging.
-Tackling increased polaris ation, challenges misinformation and social media.

Scoil Eoin Baiste and Robertsson National School, Stranorlar have joined together for the project since 2024.  Our partnership focuses on shared goals that have a positive impact on all our pupils.  "We are learning together to achieve more".

This year we are extremely fortunate to have the following talented facilitators to support and enhance the PeacePlus Aspire programme development.
