Meath Partnership to launch global citizenship project with environmental focus at its core

Meath Partnership will next week launch a new Irish Aid-funded project, 'Connecting Cultures: Sustaining Our World – a GCE approach to inclusion and sustainability'.

This innovative multi-stakeholder project aims to support community practitioners and migrants, refugees, or asylum seekers (primarily people in direct provision centres; adult and community education practitioners, volunteer centres and the general public) in Meath, to engage in global citizenship training with a specific focus on the environmental pillar of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The project will include research, training for ACE practitioners and volunteers, the production of a toolkit for educators, the promotion of volunteering and the overall awareness of Global Citizenship Education and SDGs. Volunteers will be assigned a mentor and will continue to engage with the community, on sustainable biodiversity volunteer programmes facilitated by Meath Partnership.

Meath Partnership is launching 'Connecting Cultures: Sustaining Our World – a GCE approach to inclusion and sustainability' online on Zoom on Thursday 6th September at 1pm, with Áine Doody, Head of Global Citizenship Education with of Irish Aid, as guest speaker.
