 | | The 16 th Wider Horizons Programme of the Irish Colleges of Education (St. Patrick's College, Dublin, Church of Ireland College, Dublin, St. Mary's University College, Belfast, and Stranmillis University College, Belfast) took place in Lowell, Massachussets from 22 June — 1 August. |
 | | I nitiated in 1989, this programme involves a group of beginning Irish teachers, from the North and South of Ireland, Catholic and Protestant, living together in the United States whilst being simultaneously engaged in a variety of educational and community projects. |
 | | It is hoped, thereby, to increase their own confidence and skills to enable them to work with children around issues of conflict and conflict resolution when they return to Ireland, and to establish lasting cross-border friendship and professional ties between the participants. |
