Resource Title
Action on Global Citizenship: teacher toolkit
Summary
Global Action Plan (GAP Ireland) support schools, communities and businesses to take practical, environmental action to live and work in a more sustainable way. GAP Ireland is part of GAP International – a global network of organisations in 27 countries that facilitate behaviour change to promote environmental sustainability. In researching and compiling this resource, the goal was to support Ireland’s educators in enabling students to grow into active global citizens and become more skilled in evaluating their own personal ethics and impact of their decisions.
This toolkit aims to bridge the gap between Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Development Education (DE) through an environmental education perspective. It will give you some fun and creative ideas on how to get informed about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create active global citizens and do your bit for the planet.
