About the JustUs Programme
JustUs is an innovative, multi-perspective workshop based education programme (Open College Network NI Level 2 Accredited) purposely designed for young people living in NI and the border regions. It comprises 6 modules, 4 of which are thematic explorations of challenging and controversial issues. It is delivered by trained youth workers and teachers in safe educational spaces.
The programme addresses legacy questions and other tension-laced identity issues (sectarianism, racism, and homophobia) with a view to leaving young people better able to defuse their potential to erupt into violence.
JustUs was developed and produced by Gaslight Media Trust (GMT) who manage and license its rollout across Northern Ireland and the border counties.
