LRGS History

Lancaster Royal Grammar School history department - we like all things history but particularly if it's about Gladstone.

@ParaHistories @LRGSLancaster @stjosephsstoke @KieransCollege @_stgens @StRonans1 @BanAcademyNews The first debate on whether the British Government was to blame for the conflict. What a cracker! Students from NI flipped the narrative of oppression by the British into one of legitimate fears of a minority.

@ParaHistories @LRGSLancaster @stjosephsstoke @KieransCollege @_stgens @StRonans1 @BanAcademyNews And here we are. Students are currently researching for a debate on the peace process in the context of Arab-Israeli relations.

The end of a fantastic double conference with @academielyon @LRGSLancaster, Sacred Heart and @ParaHistories. @BertieAhernFF joined us for the final afternoon after discussions on British perspectives, and debates on the Peace process. @erasmusplusUK made this possible.

@CohenTheo4 @ParaHistories @LRGSLancaster @BertieAhernFF Well done to all students.

Let’s debate!

Students from @LRGSLancaster, @academielyon and Sacred Heart Secondary School are providing some excellent and fascinating arguments on the Peace Process in Northern Ireland.

I had to leave the party to get back home. Here students and teachers are hearing from Pedder, a former member of the IRA who now works with Coista. When you're here the importance of the GFA and Protocol couldn't be clearer.

Off to Belfast to here the contested history of Northern Ireland. Students from @LRGSLancaster @academielyon and Sacred Heart are in for a fascinating day. @ParaHistories

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

Including a walking tour with people from both the Nationalist and Unionist communities of Belfast. Identity here is complex and not the binary narrative we are sometimes sold.

Finished the day with Tom Reilly, local historian. Tom's work on Oliver Cromwell in Drogheda has ruffled feathers since the 90s. Great to see him again. This is what field trips are all about! @LRGSLancaster @ParaHistories

This afternoon looking at and analysing the murals in Belfast @LRGSLancaster @academielyon

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

A great morning of Gaelic sports with students from @LRGSLancaster, Sacred Heart and @academielyon

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

Breakfast at the hostel. Ready for a day with Sacred Heart and @academielyon with @LRGSLancaster students. GAA games, murals and most likely mulling over Cromwell @ParaHistories

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

Great morning with students from @LRGSLancaster Scared Heart, Drogehda and @acadamielyon. Experiencing the Lake District in all of its damp glory.

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

Hugely impressed with students and their willingness to debate, face to face and for the French students in their second language.

[LRGS History @HistoryLrgs]

Begin!
