IDEA developed a training called the ‘ABC of Global Citizenship Education’ in collaboration with Global Village aimed at supporting newcomers to GCE to deepen their understanding and develop their skills in Global Citizenship Education delivery.   

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. It runs in three parts, through a mixture of online and in person sessions. 

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. 

In previous years we have been joined by guest speakers – in 2023 we were joined by Dr Aoife Titley, Maynooth University, and in 2024 by the Hope & Courage Collective and in 2025, global youth worker and spoken word artist Dean Oke.   

Fees for members of IDEA are €50.00 and non-members of IDEA are €100.00. Fee for unwaged (refugees, asylum seekers, students, others) is €3.00 - this can be paid in person.
