‘Understanding Ourselves, Respecting Others’

Carrickfergus High School is benefiting from Ulster GAA’s ‘Understanding Ourselves, Respecting Others Programme’. Ninety Year 8 pupils, both boys and girls, were given a taster session of GAA coaching. All the children are from non-GAA backgrounds.

The session was hugely successful with the young people enjoying learning the skills of Gaelic Games.

The Programme is an extension of Ulster GAA Community Outreach and Good relations Programme which hopes to increase awareness and respect of Gaelic Games among those from non-GAA backgrounds while also respecting the culture and beliefs of participants.
