Where the Magic Happens: Partnerships Beyond the Comfort Zone
To celebrate and showcase the Bridge 47 partnerships work led by IDEA over the last few years, we are hosting a session on Where the Magic Happens: Partnerships Beyond the Comfort Zone, 12.00-2.00pm, 26 May, as part of the Bridge 47 Global Event.
Panellists include our partners Deloitte Ireland, the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland and Latvian Museum Association. This is an opportunity to hear their perspectives on reasons for engaging in Global Citizenship Education (GCE) focussed partnerships, their collaborative activities, and the challenges, learning and impact made on their partnerships journey. Dig deeper into any tensions or questions this raises through reflection, and an open discussion and dialogue on the future possibilities of cross-sector partnerships with GCE practitioners and supporters from around the globe.
You can register for this session here.


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.
