The project is partially funded by World-Wise Global Schools and is now in its fifth year.
We have confirmed participating schools for this year’s project. If you are interested in participating in next year’s project, please email [email protected]
To book workshops directly with previous project facilitators, find further information including contact details and fees below.
The project has two core aims:
1. Empowerment of students and teachers to take concrete actions regarding refugee and migrant rights in Ireland; and
2. Increasing the agency of people seeking asylum and/or refugees by training them to become effective facilitators and contributors to Global Citizenship/Human Rights Education and youth activism.
The above results are achieved through a series of three workshops across Ireland:
- Workshop One: Stories of Home
- Workshop Two: Stories of Borders
- Workshop Three: Stories of Welcome
