Learning with Our World Awards
Global Citizenship Education empowers pupils to understand global issues, appreciate diverse perspectives, and become active participants in creating a fairer world.
Our curriculum-linked resources, including lesson plans and the Pupil’s Magazine, provide engaging activities and real-life case studies to help teachers explore topics like the work of Irish Aid, Global Citizenship and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Lesson Plans
Our lesson plans offer flexible, curriculum-aligned activities that support Global Citizenship Education. They include engaging content and real-world topics to inspire pupils and deepen their understanding of global issues. Explore the lesson plans to bring these topics to life in your classroom!
Pupils Magazine
The Irish Aid Pupil’s Magazine promotes global citizenship by engaging primary school students with topics such as sustainability, equality, and the Global Goals. Each issue is available in English and Irish, and includes stories, activities, and ideas for taking action, encouraging students to reflect on global issues and their role in creating positive change.
Free Primary School Workshops
Irish Aid provides primary school workshops and resources that use activities and games to help students understand global connections. Through stories, pupils learn how actions related to the Global Goals can improve lives worldwide, with a focus on SEE, SPHE, and The Arts, particularly Music.
National Final
Each year the Our World Awards hosts a National Final Ceremony to celebrate the outstanding work submitted by all pupils and to reward shortlisted schools for their excellence.
This year the final will take place in Dublin Castle on May 22nd 2025. We also invite all schools who participated to join the event virtually so we can all celebrate together.
