Thank you for a very engaging , informative course packed with practical ideas on how to incorporate GCE in classroom planning.
I look forward to using cross-cultural picture books as an inspiration/springboard for script writing /drama as just one example.

I found some cool podcasts discussing SDGs and some good news stories from around the world about how other places and communities are harnessing GCE and taking action to ensure one or more of the SDGs are real for their own communities

Game Changers 2020 Winners

Due to Covid-19, Game Changers 2020 was adapted to become a Home Challenge Competition. However, this did not stop the resourcefulness, ingenuity, and creativity of all the entries. Our Home Challenge saw original board games, card games and digital games submitted from young people of all ages, from all over Ireland.

The games explored the Sustainable Development Goals, including games focusing on climate action, peace and justice, good health and wellbeing and responsible consumption.

Each game was assessed by a judging panel on the following criteria: Understanding, Empathy, Innovation and Effort. The judges were impressed by the standard of knowledge, understanding and gameplay. We had five winning games from both the senior and junior categories, including individual and team entries.
The winners were:

S enior Individual Winner - Micheál O'Shea with his game 'Climate Conquest'.

Senior Team Winners - Rachel Cunniffe, Emily Kenna, Lucy McPartlan, Laura Kenna, Eve Smyth, Ella Wilkinson, with their game 'Climopoly'.

Junior Individual Winner - Samuel Quinn O'Flaherty with his game 'Planetsaver' (digital game).

Junior Team Winner - Laura Kelleher and Anna Murphy with their game 'Fish Away'

Youth Category Winners - Foróige, Ballybane, Co.Galway .PJ Monagan , DJ Mc Donagh, Dylan Ward, Patrick Ward, Jonathan Mc Donagh, Patrick Donovan, with their game 'Climate Justice the Game'.

Game Changers is a competition for young people who want to change the world and believe games are a way to do this. Young people all over Ireland submit games based on one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This course was of huge value to my Teaching Practice.

There was multiple fantastic take aways daily. Most notably for me was the way GCE can be integrated into the whole curriculum from maths to drama. GCE can be weaved into all subjects to develop children’s awareness of the SDGs and increase their empathy and  creativity in EXCITING AND ENGAGING ways.
The many methodologies we participated in also can lend themselves to other subjects too.
A truly worthwhile course!!

This mornings game based learning and drama games were very enjoyable and highlighted the benefits of learning through play.

I have really enjoyed this course. It has been engaging, dynamic and very useful. The one thing that has stood out to me is how cross curricular the SDGs are and the many different, largely creative and fun ways they can be implemented in the classroom.

This book is a great resource filled with so much ancient Irish folklore. It has so much potential for various lessons as well as connecting to our own heritage.

I loved song singing in Swahili. A simple way to bring other children’s mother tongue into the classroom and to learn other languages!

I really enjoyed every aspect of the course. I thought all guest speakers, hands-on activities and resources were top class. I enjoyed working with the many others on this course who were equally enthusiastic and good humoured. I hadn't thought of ancient customs, herbal medicine etc. As part of global education. That was fascinating!

Traditional cures were common in Ireland long ago and many still believe in the gift of “the cure” today. Learn more about old Irish cures and healers here

The most valuable piece of learning I took from this course was the transdisciplinary nature of GCE. The guest speakers have shown us how it can be integrated into a variety of different areas of the curriculum beyond SESE and SPHE.

I think this gives us great scope to plan how GCE can be effectively taught across the entire Primary school context, using different subjects in different year groups as part of our Plean Scoile.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been reflecting upon a Language Unit that focused on Board Games which I explored with the children last year. I think there is great scope to add this programme as a natural 'follow up unit' and to use this as a 'jumping off' point for GCE in the 5th class context in my class.

Some ideas for debating after our great Concern workshop yesterday.

# data[].attributes.body
Considering maths as a necessary part of nurturing a socially just world was very interesting, especially in establishing fairness/ equity in society. The activities we did around this were thought-provoking. It made me think of how important it is to help children think critically and reflect on what is fair among employers, employees, and in general (as they will be future employers/ employees/ etc.)

There was some fantastic resources around biodiversity. The ability to map your local area was great. While the topic is quite large, bringing it back to a local area will ensure the children will be engaged.

I found this resource as one of the best examples of 'infant focused' GCE resource as it opens up a discussion on the differing experiences of childhood that different children have in different countries.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the idea of mapping the local area in terms of biodiversity (or lack thereof!).

Beginning with the local area and then scaling up is a really good way of making these big ideas more relevant and accessible for children.

Really liked the food lessons from Darragh also, definitely something I will use next year with my class.

I was struck by this resource and feel that it would be a great addition to the classroom as a reference point/teaching reference.

Great to see how we can integrate the topics above topics into learning for primary students.
Developing their awareness of the causes of biodiversity collapse will encouraging a call to action.
Using the land around the school is a great way to connect with nature and investigate biodiversity in the locality.

The Young People’s Assembly on Biodiversity offers a great opportunity for a call to action. This document can be used to inform future teaching and planning around biodiversity. Thanks Ben for a great session.

I found Caoimhe’s presentation really interesting, particularly in relation to the injustice and inequality around climate change. I have always viewed climate change as a worldwide issue and haven’t considered the fact that it affects the global south more than the global north, despite the fact that it has been caused by those in the global north. Really eye opening presentation.

When I look at termly planning, I hope to use a GCE lens when choosing topics and themes for the term. How can I achieve learning outcomes for multiple subject areas while simultaneously teaching about GCE…I think it is very achievable, just needs some thought and intention!
