Tuesday Parallel workshops I & II
Fair Trade: Going Beyond the Symbol
This workshop will focus on practical ways that teachers can
include Fair Trade and Ethical Consumerism into their
teaching practice. Too often, Fair Trade education stops at
recognition of the symbol. This session explores the issues
of power and resource distribution that make trade justice an
important part of the quest for global equality.
Jen Harris is the Education Officer
for the WOWC, holds Masters
Degrees in Education and
Development, and is a former
second-level teacher of
history. Jen currently works on a
range of Fair Trade and Ethical
Consumerism issues across a
wide-range of target groups.
Facilitator: Jen Harris, Education Officer, Waterford One
World Centre
Global Teachers Award
This workshop will feature a selection of participatory
activities from the Global Teachers Award. The GTA is
a validated teacher-training programme which aims to support
teachers with relevant materials, and the development of
skills in teaching for global justice. The session will feature
practical ideas for use in the classroom, helping to explore
diverse world-views and develop critical thinking. The
session is relevant to a range of subject areas. The GTA is
supported by Irish Aid and Worldwise Global Schools.
Facilitator: Vicky Donnelly, Education Officer
Galway One World Centre
Hunger and Development- How to incorporate
Development Education into your subject
This workshop will give a brief introduction into issues such
as Hunger and Development and how to effectively
incorporate these issues into teaching practice. Teachers
will receive lesson plans and have an opportunity to test
them out and critically assess how to incorporate these
within unconventional subjects.
Vicky Donnelly is the education
worker and coordinator of Galway
One World Centre and has been
working in the area of global justice
and anti-racism education for over
15 years.
She is currently working on two
Irish Aid/EU-funded projects;
delivery of the Global Teachers
Award in Ireland, along with Quality
or Quantity, an evaluation toolkit
for assessing the impact of
development education work on
pupils’ values and attitudes.
Claire Marshall is the school’s
programme officer for Concern
Worldwide and is a former post
primary teacher of History and
CSPE. Claire currently works with
teachers on how to incorporate
D.E into a variety of different
subjects.
Facilitator: Claire Marshall, Schools Programme Officer,
Concern Worldwide
Stereotypes, Images and the ‘Single Story’
This workshop will foreground a human rights approach for
the use of images and messages in the classroom, with a
particular emphasis on context, balance and avoidance of
stereotypes. Popular songs and music videos will be used
as a stimulus to problematise teacher positionality and the
importance of multiple perspectives in the discussion of
development issues.
Facilitator: Aoife Titley, DICE Lecturer, Froebel
Department, Maynooth University
http://devedweek.wordpress.com
Aoife Titley works part-time in the
Froebel Department of Primary and

Development Education throughout the
curriculum - Theory and Practice
A detailed look at the theory of Development Education and
why it is important that schools take a cross curricular
approach to teaching DE in post-primary schools. The
workshop will also explore active learning methodologies for
teaching development education that can be applied to all
subjects areas.
Facilitator: Lydia McCarthy, Trócaire
Dealing with Controversial issues in the
Classroom
What are the causes of global inequality, and how can we
find creative ways to talk about them? This workshop will
introduce participatory methodologies for discussing
challenging issues in the classroom, which encourage
critical and creative thinking. The workshop will focus in
particular on debt and financial justice as development
issues. The global debt crisis is currently a very topical
issue, but it can be challenging to discuss with students.
This session will be a treasure trove of methodologies,
materials, and themes which relate to senior cycle, and
which offer various routes to talking about economic justice
in the classroom.

Facilitator/s: Sian Crowley, Debt and Development

The Sustainable Development Goals & their
relevance to your subject area.
The Sustainable Development Goals provide a good
framework for development education and the fact that they
are universal goals fits with the concept of connecting the
local with the global. This workshop explores the connection
with the goals and subject areas.

Title: Maths as a tool for teaching for/ with/ through
Social Justice
This workshop will provide an introduction to the intersection
of Maths and Social Justice issues. Station teaching will be
modelled as an approach to introduce puzzles/ activities
from around the world. We will also explore how ratios can
be used to understand global inequality and highlight how
statistics can illustrate divergences in student’s
understanding of global justice issues.
