| Course Description: |
History is one of the taboo areas frequently avoided in Northern Ireland because of the fear that “things will get out of hand”. Some contest that it would be better to draw a line and forget about the past entirely. However, a knowledge of past events and a sharing of the different perspectives on these events that exist within and between the different communities in Northern Ireland can make a positive contribution towards dispelling myths and ignorance that fuel suspicion and aggression.
Paths through the Past differs from many other history courses in that the emphasis is on discussing present-day perceptions and ramifications of events rather than cramming learners’ heads with facts and figures.

Early settlers
Early Christianity
Invasions – Celts & Vikings
