The UNESCO Centre, University of Ulster undertakes research, development and teaching on the themes of Education for Pluralism, Human Rights and Democracy.
Our current work has three main themes:

• Education, diversity and social inclusion
• Education, democracy and citizenship
• Education for international development.

The UNESCO Centre, based in Coleraine, provides a focus for research and development on the role of education within divided societies. The Centre has a special interest in education and the conflict in Northern Ireland and has specific expertise related to the curriculum theme of Education for Mutual Understanding, Citizenship, Social, Civic and Political Education, the Teaching of history in divided societies, and the Development of integrated schools. A significant strength of the group is the relevance of its work to policy and practice.
