Description:
To advance education through a variety of levels and modes of
study and to encourage learning and creativity for the benefit
of the community in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. Research
in Northern Ireland has confirmed that cross community contact
does take place but both revealed a lack of detailed knowledge
as to the actual mechanisms involved which in turn hinders our
understanding of the way in which positive outcomes can be maximised.
Aims and Objectives:
It is the aim of the present study to examine, using a survey
based in a representative sample of the Northern Irish population,
the qualitative aspects of cross community contact in Northern
Ireland in much more detail than has been done by existing research,
and to do so using a sophisticated multivariate (structural equation)
analyses of the data. Such information, it is argued, could greatly
assist the formulation of community relations policy in Northern
Ireland.
Main Phases:

|
| Months 11-12 | Report writing and final analyses
