Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “How a headmaster invokes Greek wisdom to empower youth in Northern Ireland | Witness Documentary” – below is their description. School headmaster Kevin McArevey is a maverick determined to change the fortunes of an inner-city community plagued by urban decay, sectarian aggression, poverty and drugs. The all-boys primary school in post-conflict Belfast, Northern Ireland, becomes a hothouse for thinking and questioning, as the headmaster encourages children to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of their community, and sends his young wards home each day armed with the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers. The boys challenge their school friends, parents and neighbours to find alternatives to violence and prejudice, and to question the mythologies of war.
