Coláiste Chú Chulainn Dundalk and Lagan College Belfast students create short films

Entwined Histories and Entwined Futures project

Coláiste Chú Chulainn, as part of their continued involvement with Co-operation Ireland and their Entwined Histories and Entwined Futures projects, worked with the students of Lagan College Belfast to create two short films on the themes of ‘Citizenship and Identity’. 20 Students from second year in either school were paired off to learn about this theme. 

Entwined Futures brings schools north and south of the border together to explore the themes of citizenship, identity, and sovereignty through the lens of the past with a view to both improving understanding of how the present has been shaped by historic events.
