Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, religious division persists, despite the existence of a decades-old peace agreement between Catholics and Protestants. As a result, less than 7 percent of Northern Ireland’s youth attend integrated schools. This segregation extends to the communities they live in and the sports they play. PeacePlayers in Northern Ireland helps thousands of youth challenge division, prejudice, and racism through sport.
