Ireland

In Ireland, we design and deliver educational projects on a variety of issues such as:

• Youth and Citizenship
• The Conflict in Northern Ireland and its legacy
• Human Rights in Ireland and Internationally
• The Millennium Development Goals
• Genocide
• Women’s Rights and the Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
• Identities and Interculturalism

Recently, for example, we have:

· Produced the best-selling educational resource 80:20 Development in an Unequal World – now used extensively in South Africa, Australia, Zambia, the UK and, of course, Ireland

· Organised and supported young people in delivering workshops on a range of issues such as genocide, the arms trade, women’s rights, HIV and AIDS, the MDGs etc.

· Supported a project on young people and the 2004 European and Local council Elections – the 321 Project
· Supported individual schools who have organised study visits to Cameroon and to Ghana
