Teacher Training At Siolta Chroi

Afri’s teacher training for secondary school teachers took place on Wednesday April 27th at Síolta Chroí, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. The training, led by Gareth Conlon, Global Citizenship Education facilitator, is a creative and informative experience, demonstrating effective ways of bringing global issues into the classroom.
The day incorporated active learning methodologies including:
- A tour of the demonstration sites on ecosystem restoration and food growing
- Q&A around global citizenship education and education for sustainable development
- A space to connect with other teachers
- Explore connecting this work to the curriculum
- Inspiration and motivation to continue the work
- Teacher training resources provided - including lessons plans for a number of Junior Cycle subjects including English, CSPE, History and Geography.
For over four decades Afri has been involved in opposing war, promoting food sovereignty and tackling climate change - working especially with Secondary and Third level students as well as with the general public. We organise the annual Famine Walk in Mayo, a Hedge School in TU Blanchardstown and Féile Bríde in Kildare. Thank you for continuing to support our work.
