Northern Ireland

"This program took learning to a higher level than I've ever experienced because it was so intense and encompassed all aspects of life. This was the most amazing experience in my life and the best thing about Earlham."

Program Description

The goal of this program is to increase students' understanding of the complexities of the conflict and the peace process in Northern Ireland and to use the knowledge gained to analyse and to increase understanding of the conflict in their own and other societies.

"I have always found that the Earlham students who come to Northern Ireland adapt well to the life here and approach their studies in an intelligent and open-minded way. It is also my belief that by living here they learn a lot about the complex dynamics of a society struggling to come out of conflict. Most of this knowledge they would never obtain from books alone." -Stephen Ryan
