Reaching learners nationwide
IDEA is the representative group for Global Citizenship Education at national level.
Our members engage hundreds of thousands of learners of all ages across the island of Ireland - in classrooms, lecture halls, youth clubs, community halls, and other learning spaces.
This reach goes beyond formal education. Many providers also work with groups such as Local Authorities, the business community and groups facing marginalisation.
