Teaching Multiculturalism in Three Schools in the Derry City Council Area

Abstract

This article is based on a six-month research project funded by the Community Relations Council looking at the teaching of multiculturalism in three primary schools in Derry. The primary aim of the research was to look at the different issues faced by teachers and pupils in the teaching of multiculturalism. 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.
