Cube of love builds friendships across communities in Northern Ireland

Two schools, from different traditions in Newtownabbey, County Antrim have used the Cube of Love with their pupils as a tool for promoting pro-social education during their ‘Friendship Week’ this month. The week ran from 18th to 22nd November and was billed ‘Anti Bullying Week’ but following their participation at a ‘Learning Fraternity’ conference in Rome, the two school principals decided to turn the week into a ‘Friendship Week’ and teach the children in their schools a little more about the art of loving, through the Cube of Love.
Mr Kevin McKeague, headmaster of St James Primary School and Mr Frazer Bailey, headmaster of Whitehouse Primary School were part of a group from Ireland who participated in “Learning Fraternity” an education conference held in early September in Castelgandolfo.
