History 'Theatre of Witness' Workshop

Year 11 History students from Down High and Saint Patrick’s Grammar participated in ‘Theatre of Witness’ workshops, delivered by the Playhouse Theatre and several victims and survivors from The Troubles. The students are studying The Troubles as part of their History GCSE and this very challenging Shared Education encounter gave them an opportunity to listen to different narratives, question the oral sources before them and gain a greater appreciation of the pain and trauma that impacted on so many people during such a difficult time in our recent history.
