IDEA will be running a series of Development Education Conversations throughout 2016. These will be informal evening sessions, providing the opportunity for anyone interested in Development Education to explore various aspects of Development Education theory and practice. Each conversation will be led by a guest convenor, who will choose a theme and select an article for participants to read prior to the session. 

We are delighted to announce that our first session will take place on Tuesday, 19 April, 5:30 – 7:30 pm in the IDEA Office  and will be convened by Maria Barry, PhD fellow at the Centre for Human Rights & Citizenship Education, St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra. Maria will be exploring the theme of Global Citizenship Education, and is asking participants to read ‘What is global education and where is it taking us’? by Alex Standish (The Curriculum Journal, 25:2, 2014). Copies of the article are available from IDEA upon registration.

The event is free and we welcome anyone with an interest in the topic.

IDEA is looking for a video production company/ animator for an upcoming video project. We have funding available to create a short animated educational video resource for members as part of The Code of Good Practice. The video will help viewers understand what quality GCE is and why it matters in the world today. The intended audience for the video are people who are connected to the Code of Good Practice and GCE in their work but not yet very familiar with it e.g. non-GCE staff in member organisations, board members of member organisations, teachers, youth workers, European partners, new members to the Code and new staff to IDEA member organisations. Please submit your CV and a short letter of interest outlining a proposal for the video (including the number of days you envisage and the fee) to code@ideaonline.ie. The deadline for application is Wednesday, 30 July 05pm. Click here for the full terms of reference.

In June, a delegation from our Erasmus+ partner organisation LAPAS (Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation) visited Dublin for a two-day learning and exchange visit hosted by IDEA. The visit was part of an ongoing collaboration with LAPAS to strengthen quality global citizenship education (GCE) in Ireland and Latvia, using the IDEA Code of Good Practice as a framework. You can find out more about the Erasmus+ project here.
