Global Issues Workshops

Workshops in Irish Schools

Children are at the heart of Plan Ireland’s development approach. Our development education programme reflects this with a specific focus on Irish school children. We aim to increase Irish children’s awareness of global development issues by encouraging active learning and dialogue in schools through our Global Issues workshops.

The workshop lasts approximately 40 minutes per class. It incorporates a discussion of global development issues such as poverty and gender equality, along with information about children’s lives in an emergency situation such as the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Neither the children nor the school are asked to participate in any type of fundraising event.
The primary objective is to raise awareness of global issues with Irish school children.
