This 3-part training workshop on the ABC of Global Citizenship Education is being provided by IDEA and Concern Worldwide’s Global Citizenship team to support participants to deepen their understanding and develop their skills in Global Citizenship Education delivery.
Please note:
This training course is similar to the course
‘the A-Z of Global Citizenship Education’ which was designed and delivered for the first time in 2023. Participants who attended that training in 2023 and are interested in attending this course should contact
elaine@ideaonline.ie
Global Citizenship Education enables people to understand the world around them and to act to transform it. It works to tackle the root causes of injustice and inequality, globally and locally to create a more just and sustainable future for everyone. IDEA members use a variety of terms including Global Citizenship Education, Development Education, Education for Sustainable Development, Global Youth Work and related terms.
The training is targeted at newcomers to Global Citizenship Education but is open to all. It will also be useful to anyone who wishes to brush up on their Global Citizenship Education skills.
The training will:
- Support educators to bring a global justice perspective to your educational work
- Explore interactive and participatory approaches to Global Citizenship Education
- Provide information on relevant resources and supports for your Global Citizenship Education work
- Introduce you to the Code of Good Practice for Development Education
- Increase understanding of the context of Global Citizenship Education in Ireland, including relevant stakeholders.
During session 2 we will be joined by a guest speaker – Briana Fitzsimons from the Hope & Courage Collective. The Hope & Courage Collective is an organisation that is working to inoculate our communities against the spread of hate and extremism in Ireland. During this training, we will provide an understanding of the far right in Ireland and some updates on the context they are currently operating in. We will then take a look at building a community response, which will include managing difficult conversations around these topics in educational settings.
