Global Citizenship Development Education: Empowering Educators in the Classroom (P) (PP) 

DATE:      Monday, 31st March 2025 
TIME:       7pm - 8pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

Are you interested in developing GCDE within your classroom? Are you new to GCDE? Here is a place to start. Tackling Global Citizenship Development Education can be very daunting and overwhelming, but once you start you will see the impact it has on creating a better world for everyone. This interactive workshop will encourage you to reflect on your own practice and enable you to add GCDE themes into your classrooms. Kirsten will share examples of ready to use resources to support primary and post-primary staff, she will then also signpost other resources in less detail. The hope is that you will leave with some practical examples that you will try in your settings and that you will feel empowered to find out more.
