It’s now a year since Northern Ireland’s power-sharing government, comprising the Protestant Democratic Unionist Party and Catholic Sinn Fein, has been in office and relations between Northern Ireland's Catholics and Protestants are improving.

Its creation was a result of the landmark Good Friday agreement back in 1988. A sign of that is the increasing demand for non-denominational integrated schools.

Schools segregated along religious lines are still very much the norm in Northern Ireland. In fact, the first integrated school there opened in 1981 to a storm of protest from church leaders. But integrated schools are beginning to help bridge the divide for Northern Ireland’s next generation.
