Delighted to announce the launch of  A Teacher’s Handbook on Global Citizenship Education in the Post Primary Classroom took place in the Aula Maxima in UCC on Thursday 12.12.24.

This valuable resource, which is Ubuntu and Irish Aid supported, provides 10 lessons on GCE, identity and addressing ‘so called controversial issues’ in the classroom. It honours the important work that educators do in nurturing young global citizens – a most hopeful and ever-pressing responsibility.

 Congratulations to our colleagues and members, Seanin Hoy, Steve O’Brien and Gearoid O’Brien on this wonderful resource.

Congratulations to Ubuntu Members Seanin Hoy, Gearoid O’Brien, and Stephen O’Brien on the recent publication of A Teacher’s Handbook on Global Citizenship Education in the Post-primary Classroom.

This exciting publication is written by teachers for teachers. It seeks to support those new to the profession, as well as those who are already experienced in post-primary school and further education settings. It is designed to sustain these professionals in their important – relational and pedagogical – work with children and young adults.

The book comprises 10 scaffolded lessons, that provide exemplars of how Global Citizenship Education can be taught and learned effectively. The first lesson is centred on exploring the foundational discipline of Global Citizenship Education. Each subsequent lesson focuses on a global theme and on creative ways to critically engage students in their own learning about the world.

These global themes include our own identity; belonging; inter-relationships; stereotypes; migration; seeking asylum; the role of the media.
