Swedish Students Focus On Orange Institution

Article 2 ~ December 2004

The Orange Order has been the focus for a group of Swedish students visiting Northern Ireland for the first time.

Thirty students and their teachers from the Rudbeck Upper Secondary School in the Swedish Sollentuna region visited Schomberg House in Belfast, headquarters of the Orange Order.

The students were addressed by Dr. David Hume, Director of Services, and David Scott, Community Education Officer, and were shown around the Order's museum. The Orange officials explained aspects of the Institution's heritage and culture to them, and also participated in a question and answer session, during which many issues and topics were raised.

The teenagers were interested in hearing at firsthand an Orange perspective on parades and parading as well as how the Institution saw itself in the future.

The students are all participants in Peace Studies courses and have been studying the Northern Ireland conflict as part of their coursework.
