Global Citizenship Education
The Global Education Time (GET) Project
The Global Education Time (GET) Project is a European Union/Irish Aid funded initiative implemented in Ireland by A Partnership with Africa. The project aims to increase awareness of the United Nations Global Goals and Global Citizenship Education (GCE) amongst educators, young people and their communities. Project activities include:- Advocacy and campaigning to help create conductive policy responses to the Global Goals
- Working with student teachers and practicing teachers to embed GG content and GCE approaches across subjects/short courses
- Supporting post-primary students to undertake GG-related actions in their communities.
APA Global Education Team and Youth Action
During the year APA Global Education Team ran workshops with second level students discussing the four global challenges of International Inequalities, Climate Change Migration and Gender Inequalities. Our newly developed teaching and learning Units (TLUs), help young people develop critical thinking, empathy and active citizenship through creative, student-led projects.
Pictured in the slideshow are some of the students from Tullamore College, Roscommon Community College and Galway Educate Together Secondary School at workshops during the year.

The research provides a snapshot of the extent to which Global Citizenship Education both in and outside of school is present in the policies and practices of public institutions in Ireland. This snapshot was obtained through an in-dept analysis of documents and a series of interviews with the main institutional and socio-cultural actors involved in the issue. The analysis is complemented by a series of suggestions for improvement
The aim of this study was to understand how the four major global challenges at the heart of GET project activities - migration, climate change, gender inequalities and global inequalities - present in the courses/subjects that are considered particularly strategic for developing global citizenship
