Someone Like Me ( Art Competition)

 The Department of Justice and Equality invited schools to take part in its ‘Someone Like Me’ art competition. This competition aims to promote disability awareness among primary school children and give a greater understanding of what unites children of differing abilities in school. The children were given a forum to openly discuss the topic of disability. We also focused on:

• Promoting inclusiveness
  
• Encouraging children to be aware of similarities and differences between people
  
• Considering people’s feelings and treating others with respect.
  

The children responded artistically to the theme of ‘Someone Like Me’. All children took part in the discussion. Have a look at some of the beautiful art work created.
