The primary aim of the research was to look at the different issues faced by teachers and pupils in the teaching ofmulticulturalism. The project aimed also to examine whether this teaching differed in different types of school – the three schools visited for the research were one each from the Controlled, Catholic and Integrated sector. http://hdl.handle.net/2428/11665 Title: Research for Sustainble Peace<br/><br/>Authors: CRC<br/><br/>Abstract: This publication highlights research funded through Measure 2.1 of the European Union’s Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, which is administered by the Community Relations Council. The overall aims ofMeasure 2.1 are to provide opportunities for civil society to promote reconciliation and peace building efforts and to encourage communities in areas which had previously experienced violence or its consequences todevelop strategies and activities which promote reconciliation as a means to sustaining peace.The 25 research projects represented in this booklet are undertaking or have completed focused academic work that has the potential to impact the daily lives of people in Northern Ireland. Research can accomplish this through equipping a number of areas, groups and sectors with valuable data that can inform them of the structures, attitudes and practices that may need to be addressed in order to promote social change and peace building. http://hdl.handle.net/2428/6043 Title: What Now?: Exploring Community Relations among 16-year olds in Northern Ireland<br/><br/>Authors: Schubotz, Dirk; Devine, Paula<br/><br/>Abstract: In order to provide a voice for younger people within selected households, the Young Life and Times (YLT) survey was set up to run alongside the adult survey. One of the main aims of YLT was to provide amechanism to compare the views of adult respondents with those of all 12 to 17 year olds living in the same household. However, in 2001 a review of YLT was undertaken. A consultation with users of YLT found that although the interest in a young people’s survey was generally very high, directly comparing young people’s attitudes to those of the adult population was of relatively limited concern to those asked. The broad age-range of respondents resulted in problems of questionnaire design. For example, questions and topics appropriate for 17 year olds were not appropriate for 12 year olds.There was also considerable unease about the methodological approach of the YLT survey in the then existing format. Interviewing young people in theirhomes, often in the presence of their parents, raised questions about thereliability of the collected data and the ethical implications of this approach.At the same time, interviewing young people in their schools in front of their peers seemed equally problematic. http://hdl.handle.net/2428/5586 Title: Too Young to Notice?
