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.

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 Wednesday, 30 July 05pm. Click here for the full terms of reference.
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.
