Following an extended pastoral exchange with a clergyman in Manchester, Connecticut, Reverend Kerry Waterstone (Pictured Above), a Church of Ireland (Anglican) Priest, received a request from two congregations in that city asking him to formulate a plan in an effort to help ease the tensions in Northern Ireland. After the experience of his own family in the United States of America, Canon Waterstone felt that the attitudes of teens from Northern Ireland might be changed. If they could see and experience the way Americans have learned to live together in their "melting pot" society, they might influence the future in Northern Ireland.
After obtaining approval from church leaders, Canon Waterstone traveled to Northern Ireland to secure the cooperation of clergy willing to help in the implementation of his plan. Forming the original guideleines for the project, he focused on the prejudices and stereotypes, which are the root cause of the bitter strife labeled "Catholic/Protestant". Nationally, the project began in the United States in 1975 and by 2003 the Ulster Project International had grown to 28 active American host communities paired with 8 Northern Ireland communities. Since the projects inception in 1975, over 6,000 teens from Northern Ireland have participated in the various Ulster Project programs.
