Workshop: IDEA Strategic Plan

Feb 12, 2024

Date: Wednesday 28 February, 10.00am - 1.00pm.

Location: IDEA Office, 6 Gardiner Row, Dublin 1


IDEA is inviting our members to participate in an interactive workshop on our new Strategic Plan for 2024 - 2029 on Wednesday 28 February in the IDEA Office, 6 Gardiner Row, Dublin 1, 10.00am - 1.00pm.


This is an important opportunity for us to hear from you about your experiences as part of the Global Citizenship Education / Development Education sector and as a member of IDEA, and about your hopes and expectations for what IDEA should prioritise in the coming years to achieve better outcomes for our community. This will also be an opportunity to reflect on IDEA’s strengths and achievements under the last Strategic Plan, and to identify the areas where we need to focus our energies in the future.


This workshop is part of a broader consultation process which will include an e-survey open to all IDEA members that will be shared later in February.


IDEA’s strategy development work is being facilitated by 2into3, a consultancy firm who specialise in building the capacity of mission-driven organisations so that they can have a transformative impact on society in Ireland and around the world.
