GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AND CLIMATE ACTION - ONLINE TEACHER TRAINING

Our Global Citizenship and Climate Action course supports Irish secondary teachers to incorporate Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and Climate within their teaching.

Over four sessions we will help you and your students to build the knowledge, values, attitudes and skills to take meaningful, informed action on climate. The course will be hosted through an online classroom with small, weekly homework tasks, resources, and tips to enhance your GCE practice.
