Dissolving Boundaries

 

Background

The Dissolving Boundaries Programme is designed to support schools in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to engage in collaborative curricular projects using computer and video conferencing. The Dissolving Boundaries Project is managed from within the Education departments of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth and the University of Ulster at Coleraine.

Aims of the project:-

  • To integrate technology into curricular work
  • To produce educationally valuable collaborative work
  • To promote mutual understanding on both sides of the Irish border

In total, there are currently 140 schools actively involved in the project. For the academic year 2007 - 2008 a new cohort of 30 schools is going to be recruited. This will typically consist of 15 primary schools and 10 post primary schools and 5 special schools from each side of the border.
