Official Global Classrooms Launch 31.01.2025
1st Feb 2025
On Friday January 31st, Green-Schools officially launched the Global Classroom Project and we are honoured to be the school that launched the event. Congratulations to our Green School Co-ordinator Ms Niamh Mac Auley, our Green Schools Committee and 6th class.
This international linking project began in late 2020 when Green-Schools joined forces with our colleagues and friends in Eco-Schools Kenya and Kenya Organisation for Environmental Education .
The initial aim was to co-creation five workshops on five Global Goals: Goal 5: Gender Equality, Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, Goal 13: Climate Action, Goal 14: Life Below Water, and Goal 15: Life on Land. Each school in Ireland and Kenya participating in the project was required to take action on their assigned global goal, creating an environment of interconnected learning and a greater understanding of the things the students have in common and things that may be different.
The project has now expanded to include 5 countries and we have added more engagements throughout the year, which includes Global Goals week.
