“I thought it was amazing. It really brought everything to life for the kids. They learned an awful lot about
Irish Aid and the Global Goals. We have a range of children from different backgrounds, different countries and different cultures. A lot of them felt represented during the workshop and even learned a bit more about their cultures and their countries. I would really recommend this workshop to all schools.”

About Irish Aid

"So many projects come in the door of schools but this one I would rate very highly for something that lends itself very well to the primary school curriculum".

Gerard Murray, Principal at Carrabane NS

"The entry criteria for the OWA was accessible by all students in the class and there were a huge range of submissions from stories to artwork. It links well with several curricular areas and is a staple for me every year."

Claire Nic Gabhann, Gaelscoil Eois

"I cannot recommend participation in the Our World Awards highly enough. The resources supplied by Irish Aid were the perfect spring board into the world of sustainable global development”

Anne-Marie O’Sullivan, St. Mary’s Convent Primary School, Nenagh
