World Wise Global Schools
Educating for an Equal World
Irish Aid’s WorldWise Global Schools (WWGS) is Ireland’s national Global Citizenship Education (GCE) programme for post-primary settings.
WWGS was set up in 2013 as the key channel through which Irish Aid support for GCE in post-primary settings is to be coordinated. The aim of the programme is to increase the number of post-primary settings engaging in quality global citizenship education by providing a comprehensive range of supports.
It is funded by Irish Aid and implemented by a consortium of organisations:
- Self Help Africa
- Concern Worldwide
- City of Dublin ETB Curriculum Development Unit
- Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland (ASTI), representing also the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI)
- National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD)
- The Ubuntu Network, School of Education, University of Limerick
Led by Ms. Aisling Collins, Gort Community School have a long standing history of working with World Wise Global Schools and have been hugely successful throughout the years in educating for an equal world.
