Support for IDEA members for the Irish Aid Annual Grants Round 2017

With the Irish Aid Annual Grants call now open, IDEA is running a number of workshops and webinars over the coming weeks that will be useful for those taking part in this and other grant application processes. 

Here are the events and dates to put in your diaries:

Impact Measurement Workshop

Date: Thursday, 13 October

Time: 2:00 – 4:30pm

Venue: IDEA Office, 6 Gardiner Row, Dublin 1

This practical workshop tackles the challenge of applying 'results-based thinking' to short-term Development Education projects. Using a toolkit developed by IDEA specifically for use with the Results Table in the Irish Aid Annual Grants application form, participants will work step-by-step through each element of the table. By the end of the workshop, participants should have the skills and confidence needed to prepare an effective Results Table. Participants will be given the IDEA toolkit and also will have the opportunity to participate in a follow-up webinar, see below.

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.
