Thank you to VSI Ireland for including Programme Officer Maggie in their Global Citizenship weekend. Amazing discussions and opportunities for new approaches and discussions to help the sector.

The SDG Advocates embarked on the 2nd stage of their seven-month Global Citizenship Education (GCE) training project. Gathered at the ancient battleground of Moytura, a place steeped in myth, courage, and transformation, they stand at the threshold of their own adventure. Like the heroes of old, they hear and accept the call to adventure, stepping beyond the familiar into a journey of learning, leadership, and global responsibility. Inspired by the legacy of those who once faced great challenges on this sacred ground, the Advocates began a quest that will test their skills, deepen their understanding, and empower them to become champions for the Sustainable Development Goals in their communities and beyond.

It was a pleasure to be hosted by @johnstowncastle today and get the summer edition of #TrainingofTrainers started. Collaborating with @IrHeritageTrust Today provided an introduction to #GlobalCitizenshipEducation the #SDGs and a number of activities around the #FourpillarsofDevEd. @SaoltaEd is excited to engage with this training over the summer months. @Irish_Aid @MaynoothUni @devperspectives @AontasIreland @Concern @CorkETB @irishrurallink 1m
