We started our day in Derry with the visit of the walls. We went back to the origins of the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, in particular the Ulster Plantation when Scottish and English people were brought in to get rid of the Irish. Derry underwent a siege in 1689 but William of Orange and his troops resisted and won, explaining the domination of Protestants in Derry from then on.
After lunch we went to the Museum of Free Derry explaining the deaths of 14 innocent civilians on Bloody Sunday in 1972. Then the Première students explained the murals they had prepared.
