<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pioneering cross border, cross community Peace building Initiative, this year long programme of activities, involving second level schools from Belfast and Louth working in collaboration and partnership, held its final partnership event on May 8th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event marked the culmination of a year\u2019s collaboration between schools and FE\/HE institutions north and south. The final event provided an opportunity to showcase the cross border and cross community partnership celebration of innovation, creativity and real-world impact, in seven second level schools from Co. Louth, Ireland and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Each school group presented their unique 3D printed design ideas, concepts process and final product at the Advanced Manufacturing Pathways Schools Project Showcase in the Portview Trade Centre in East Belfast, at which the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Micky Murray, was the guest of honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Four schools from Co Louth worked in Partnership with three schools from Belfast to design and 3D print solutions that tackle real-life challenges \u2014 The programme themes encompassed: mental health and disabilities, Environment, Technology, health, and sport. The cross-community, cross-border initiative was delivered by Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) and Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre (BURC) and was funded in Northern Ireland by the International Fund for Ireland, through its Communities in Partnership Programme (CIPP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Showcase event was attended by; Sadie Ward McDermott, Director of FET, LMETB; Fiona Kindlon, Director of Schools, LMETB; Gerard Smith, Director of LMETB\u2019s Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (AMTCE) in Dundalk, Brendan Mackin, Chairperson of Portview Trade Centre and Bill Pauley Board member International Fund for Ireland.
Councillors Sammy Douglas and Davy Douglas from Belfast City Council were also in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Sadie Ward McDermott Director LMETB said, \u201cInitiatives like the Advanced Manufacturing Pathways Schools Project can help to build lasting relationships on a cross-border basis \u2013 while offering young people opportunities to meet their peers on both sides of the border and learn new skills while thinking about their future career prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by personal stories in many instances, the students presented group project work utilising 3D technologies to develop potential solutions to everyday challenges for people with various conditions such as: Arthritis, Autism, Mental health challenges and Mobility issues. using the latest technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Robotics and 3D printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students worked in partnership and collaboratively on both a cross community and cross border basis, participating in active learning workshops in LMETB\u2019s Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence (AMTCE) in Dundalk and the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC) at Queen\u2019s University Belfast. They gained knowledge skills and competencies in the latest innovative technologies such as 3D Printers, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Classrooms, Robotics and Cybersecurity, alongside critical development of life skills such as teamworking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IFI\u2019s Communities in Partnership Programme (CIPP), is focused on embedding lasting relationships on a cross-border basis by supporting co-operation and innovation between groups and organisations on projects that have a meaningful benefit for local communities.
Brendan Mackin, Chair of Portview Trade Centre in East Belfast said, \u201cThe development and the ultimate success of an all-Island economy requires the implementation of a training and education strategy to compete in a fast-changing global economy. This project has the objective of linking schools and manufacturing industry together to the mutual benefit of students and employers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadie Ward McDermott, Director of FET at LMETB, said: \u201cThe Advanced Manufacturing Pathways Schools project has offered opportunities for students to grow in confidence and knowledge in respect to increased understanding and awareness of their potential career opportunities in advanced manufacturing and STEM areas, acquiring during the course of the yearlong cross border project, key skills and personal competencies which they can use to inform their future potential career path opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme provided for both students and staff an opportunity to work in partnership and collaboratively, providing through engagement in STEM workshops the opportunity to enable co-operation and collaboration across communities and borders, which were both enriching and beneficial opportunities for students and staff to sharing experiences, ideas generation and best practice methodologies. This project is supported in its work by the International Fund for Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
