We are now taking registration for our updated 2025 iteration of the IDEA's Lab on the theme "Co-Creating Equity-Driven Solutions in Global Citizenship Education". Based on feedback from members, we will now conduct a two-part workshop instead of a residential training.  Part 1 will be held on 11 Friday July, 10.00am-4.30pm. We expect part 2 to take place end of August/early September.


The format and focus for part 2 will be co-designed with participants based on the outcome of part 1.


Join us for a full-day interactive workshop designed to help members co-create equity-rooted Global Citizenship Education (GCE) ideas. Grounded in the Double Diamond design thinking model, this session will explore with practitioners new design and working methods.


We will discuss self-care, participatory and justice-centred approaches, barriers to meaningful engagement with marginalised communities, inclusion, co-agency, accessibility and much more. The workshop will be centred on equity and collective transformation and through storytelling, visualisation, and co-design, participants will develop practical insights to guide their work.


This event is only open to members of IDEA. Each participant is however encouraged to bring a team member/colleague along, who could be a member, non-member or even work outside of the sector. 


There is a fee to attend this event.

Fees for members of IDEA is €50

Bring a colleague along: 2 for 1 Offer


Please let us know if the fee is a barrier to your participation by writing to Anya anya@ideaonline.ie

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 Wednesday, 30 July 05pm. Click here for the full terms of reference.

In June, a delegation from our Erasmus+ partner organisation LAPAS (Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation) visited Dublin for a two-day learning and exchange visit hosted by IDEA. The visit was part of an ongoing collaboration with LAPAS to strengthen quality global citizenship education (GCE) in Ireland and Latvia, using the IDEA Code of Good Practice as a framework.
