why aid is important

#DontForget is a campaign highlighting the importance of international development aid in 2025. At a time when overseas aid is under threat, we shouldn’t forget the value of this work.

Distance Learning

We have adapted our content to meet changing needs and have produced a series of  Distance Learning resources. They include content suitable for student-led activities or teacher-led activities in a classroom setting. Each topic has an equivalent workshop that can be facilitated by our team.

Teacher Toolkits

Our Teacher Toolkit pack was developed from workshops we have been delivering in schools throughout Ireland and addresses challenges faced by teachers wishing to explore connections to global issues in their classrooms. Our guidelines incorporate the active learning process, making connections between local and global, and taking action.

Exhibitions

Our exhibitions explore climate change, gender equality and trade justice from the point of view of the communities we work with in Africa. They are available for display at your school with connected workshops and quizzes, and our virtual exhibitions can be viewed below.
