Global Village Schools

Our Global Citizenship Education and Outdoor Education Summer Course at Laois Forest School has officially wrapped up, and it was a brilliant week from start to finish.

Our primary teachers spent the week learning a range of outdoor activities they can take straight back to their classrooms, covering everything from nature connection and sensory play to sustainability projects and active citizenship ideas. It was fantastic to watch confidence grow day by day, both in the outdoors and in bringing Global Citizenship Education to life.

A huge thank you to our facilitators, who made the week what it was: Schools of Sanctuary Ireland, Trocaire, Concern Worldwide, DCU, Irish National Teachers' Organisation, Maynooth University, Irish Schools Sustainability Network - ISSN and CreativeIrl. Your time, expertise and enthusiasm meant so much to our teachers this week.

And to all the teachers who joined us, thank you for being so open to learning something new. We hope you head back to school full of ideas and ready to bring a bit of the forest with you.

Here's to another successful week in the woods.
