World Wise Global Schools Webinars - Global School Partnership Training

Overview
A Global School Partnership (GSP) encourages participating schools to challenge their assumptions about other countries and people, and to engage with different ways of seeing the world.

An effective GSP should serve as a vehicle for transformative learning that raises awareness and understanding of identity, diversity and interdependence.

Learning Outcomes
This workshop is for teachers in schools that may have an existing link with a school in a Global South country or are interested in exploring the possibility of creating one.

A GSP can enable you and your partner school to explore different perspectives on local and global justice issues together that uphold respect, dignity and solidarity.

What is the World Wide Global Schools?
Irish Aid’s WorldWise Global Schools (WWGS) is Ireland’s national Global Citizenship Education (GCE) programme for post-primary settings.

WWGS was set up in 2013 as the key channel through which Irish Aid support for GCE in post-primary settings is to be coordinated. The aim of the programme is to increase the number of post-primary settings engaging in quality global citizenship education by providing a comprehensive range of supports.
