Episode 2

In this episode, we’re joined by Keith Williamson from Down High School and Celeste McEvoy from Lecale Trinity Grammar School, two educators driving innovation through their PEACEPLUS ASPIRE partnership.

Together, their schools have developed ASPIRE Ambassadors - empowering students to become the next generation of Shared Education leaders. Keith and Celeste share how they’ve woven diversity workshops, cultural celebration days, and the arts and music into their joint activities, creating meaningful connections across communities.

They also open up about the realities of managing a post-primary partnership, the challenges they’ve faced, and the creative ways they’ve overcome them. Plus, get a glimpse into their exciting plans for next year - including a collaborative art mural in Downpatrick that promises to leave a lasting legacy.

This episode is a celebration of leadership, creativity, and the power of partnership in education.
