Hi,

The following may be of interest to both BA and PG/MA groups - former in terms of internship and work placement, and PG/MA for post-grad intern position. Please contact me if you wish to pursue possibilities with this organisation.

Regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Many thanks indeed for responding to me.

We would be very interested in providing a placement for a student on the terms you mentioned.

We have had similar placements with DIT, Dundalk IT and the Irish Scool of Ecumenics (M. Sc. in Reconciliation Studies) in Belfast. Next year we hope to focus our attention on Dev. Ed. /Dev. Studies courses.

As Programme Manager, I would be assuring the necessary supervision.

As of now, I'd just like to know when the placement period would commence.

We are also seeking post-grad interns. If you know how we may attract the interest of anyone who is interested in doing some applied research with us, or how we may go about seeking interest, I'd be very grateful!

As our programme involves the promotion of Dev. Ed, human rights/values education with schools on three axes of exchange (cross-community; cross-border; multilateral-international), possible areas of research could be based around the following themes:

- comparative models of teaching conflict awareness in school settings in places of conflict and/or post-conflict;

- integration of the principles and practices of Dev. Ed. in school settings and/or within post-primary curricula (in Rep. of Ireland and Northern Ireland).

Not meaning to grind you up here...! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi all,
there will be a number of short interruptions in access to Moodle today.

This is to facilitate the changes we have been working on for the last few months and to allow
reorganisation to make room for the incoming participants.

Also reminding all staff that there will be a Moodle day next Tuesday 14th September, so have
your questions ready.

Hope you like it,
Niall
