You do not have to be a sports fan to find something interesting in these shows, we are investigating everything from the showbiz opening, the impact the Games will have on our already multicultural make-up, will the vibrations of last summers riots have any affect on ticket sales, what will the legacy actually look like and we speak to 9 times Paralympics gold medalist Chris Holmes about losing his sight at 14 and how to swim in a straight line when you’re blind.

Headliners have been working to bring Catholic and Protestant children and young people together in Northern Ireland.

Embarking on an IFI Sharing in Education project, we have been working with a number of schools running our unique learning through journalism programs with them. Getting the young people to investigate and explore the issues their areas faces.

Taking Catholic children into Protestant schools and visa versa, to work with each other, these young people have produced a plethora of interesting, touching, and insightful podcasts.

These are the voices of our future and the future seems to be in peaceful hands.

Who has the power? Is it you? Is it your parents? Is it the government? Is it the Money Men?

In this episode, The On Point Online team looks into power and how it affects our outlook in life.

We speak to parents to see if they really have control over their children, bullying and sexism in school, the top misuses of power and the issues around who has the power in a stop and search situation.
