This is a great time for practitioners and supporters of integrated education to have a say, both on behalf of their school and of the wider movement and presents a major opportunity to help plan the future of education in Northern Ireland.
We have compiled a series of advocacy resources to help schools and supporters with campaigning – for example, in planning a hustings event or engaging with elected representatives.
