The project is led by UNICEF Ireland in partnership with UNICEF UK, Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership, and Ulster University. Through a rights-based, creative, and collaborative approach, the project aims to bring together primary schools from both sides of the border to build positive relationships within and between communities.
