Trócaire: Action for a Just World
Trócaire is seeking youth groups to join their Action for a Just World Programme from September 2017. With support from Trócaire and their youth worker, 8 youth groups from across Ireland will explore climate change, take part in the challenge residential, reach out to their peers and develop a joint Youth-Led campaign.
What are they looking for?
- Youth groups from across Ireland to register for the programme
- The lead youth worker to attend an induction session on Wednesday 20 September
- In each group – 6 young people aged 15-17 to lead the project locally
- Take part in a 3 day residential during the Halloween mid-term (01 – 03 November)
- The youth groups to raise awareness locally between October 2017- April 2018
The project is an innovative opportunity to involve youth people in a national climate action programme.
If you would like to get involved please contact Ellen Donnelly, Youth Education Officer on 01 654 9125 or email ellen.donnelly@trocaire.org.

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.
