Our 2025 Our World Awards School of the Year, Scoil Mhuire Glenties, recently took time out of their busy schedule to enjoy their prize from last year’s final. The class visited the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium and had a fantastic day!

We are now in the final stages of adjudication for the 2026 National Finals and look forward to announcing the shortlisted schools.

The 2026 National Finals will take place in UCD on Thursday, 7 May. All shortlisted schools will be notified by email during the week of 13 April.

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
