Irish Aid Grants for Global Citizenship Education Call For 2024
The 2024 Irish Aid Global Citizenship Education Grants Call for Proposals is now open.
The call for proposals can be found at this link under the ‘Applying for Funding’ tab. It also includes links to
the Guidelines, FAQ documents, as well as information on DEAR co-funding.
Key dates include:

- Our understanding is that organisations who last applied for multi-annual funding 3 years ago (even if you were successful) need to complete an eligibility form for this call.

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. You can find out more about the Erasmus+ project here.
