All Children Together: The Story of Lagan College
Reporter Karen Atkinson looks back at the hard-fought campaign to establish Northern Ireland's first integrated school.
1981 was the year of the hunger strikes, widespread rioting and tense Anglo-Irish relations. Yet against this backdrop of deep division, 28 Catholic and Protestant students walked through the doors of Northern Ireland's first integrated school.
'All Children Together: The Story of Lagan College' reunites past pupils, parents and teachers to talk about the early days of an education experiment many expected to fail. Reporter Karen Atkinson looks back at the hard-fought campaign to establish the school, the opposition it faced and how Lagan College sowed the seeds for the growth of integrated education in Northern Ireland.
