IDEA’s Good Governance Group Reconvenes

IDEA's Good Governance Group will reconvene this autumn. We welcome any members who are working towards improving governance in their organisations, especially those working towards compliance with the Governance Code. This autumn we will offer a combination of training, peer sharing and support, which we hope will help us all improve how we govern our organisations.  
  
Our first session will be on Thursday 10 Sept.  We invite any interested members to attend a lunchtime seminar (12 – 1 pm) at Carmichael House, Living Good Governance.  This session will explore good governance as a core organisational value, rather than simply a box-ticking exercise.  Following the seminar, we will move on to the IDEA office (1:30 – 3:30 pm) where we will tackle practical questions arising from the seminar, and share relevant documents from IDEA's Good Governance Folder.

Please contact Susan via  susan@ideaonline.ie  before Thursday 3 Sept. If you would like to attend the Carmichael Centre session and/or the meeting at IDEA.

IDEA is looking for a video production company/ animator for an upcoming video project. We have funding available to create a short animated educational video resource for members as part of The Code of Good Practice. The video will help viewers understand what quality GCE is and why it matters in the world today. The intended audience for the video are people who are connected to the Code of Good Practice and GCE in their work but not yet very familiar with it e.g. non-GCE staff in member organisations, board members of member organisations, teachers, youth workers, European partners, new members to the Code and new staff to IDEA member organisations. Please submit your CV and a short letter of interest outlining a proposal for the video (including the number of days you envisage and the fee) to code@ideaonline.ie. The deadline for application is now extended to 06 August, 05pm. Click here for the full terms of reference.
