Dr Darragh McCashin contributing to the WorldWise Global Schools panel session as part of an event launched by Minister Neale Richmond which explored online and offline harms, racism, far-right politics, and disinformation. 

Dr McCashin participated in the first of two panel sessions at the organisation's School Leadership symposium event in April, on the subject: ‘Unlearning and Reconstructing: Global Issues influencing our school community and settings.’

Irish Aid’s WorldWise Global Schools (WWGS) is Ireland’s national Global Citizenship Education (GCE) programme for post-primary settings.

WWGS was set up in 2013 as the key channel through which Irish Aid support for GCE in post-primary settings is to be coordinated. The aim of the programme is to increase the number of post-primary settings engaging in quality global citizenship education by providing a comprehensive range of supports.

The Symposium for School Leadership is for Principals, Deputy Principals and Board members of Post-Primary Schools and Education Centres who have a Global Citizenship Education Programme or are interested in having a Global Citizenship Education Programme in their setting.
