‘Democracy in Action’ is part of the Schools Based Project, funded under the European Union’s PEACE III Programme, managed on behalf of the Special EU Programmes Body by the North East PEACE III Partnership.

St. Louis have been working in partnership with St Patrick’s College, Dungiven, and have visited Stormont, Dáil Éireann and toured the Peace walls in Belfast.

In school, work has complemented their history studies giving them the opportunity to think further about how democracy has shaped the course of peace over the past century. Pupils from the school hosted an exhibition to share experiences and learning with the wider community on March 27, which was opened by Mayor P.J. McAvoy, vice chair of the North East PEACE III Joint Committee and Daithí McKay MLA.

Mr McKay, a past pupil of St Louis Grammar, commended the pupils on their extraordinary exhibition of academic and artistic works celebrating both Protestant and Catholic cultural heritage.
