Morína O'Neill has worked in Development Education for over 20 years. She worked overseas, supporting community organisers in Central America, which informed her approaches to DE. She has worked in a number of organisations including the National Youth Council of Ireland, Comhlámh, Debt and Development Coalition Ireland (now Financial Justice Ireland) and with IDEA. Since 2017, she has been working as a consultant to support IDEA and its membership to develop and implement the Code of Good Practice in Development Education in Ireland. Morína believes one of the most important aspects of the Code is that it has been developed by Development Education practitioners for Development Education practitioners, and is a participative journey, shaped by the Code members with the support of IDEA.

Biographies
Gráinne O'Neill is based in Derry, Northern Ireland. She has been involved in Development Education since 2007 after returning from some time in Zambia with Barefeet Theatre and has worked with different organisations in the sector in this time, both in a staff and freelance capacity, including work with Children in Crossfire and Comhlámh. Gráinne describes herself as a mother of two earthy and wild children, Darragh and Naia, who keep her grounded and allow her to constantly look at the world with curiosity. Gráinne tries to bring this curiosity into her work and loves learning from the work of different organisations and how Development Education manifests within different communities and with the changing times we are in.
