Irish Aid’sWorldWise Global Schools (WWGS) is Ireland’s national Global Citizenship Education (GCE) programme for post-primary settings.
Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is an educational process aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live. By challenging stereotypes and encouraging independent thinking, GCE helps students critically explore the root causes of global justice issues and how they interlink with our everyday lives. GCE inspires global solidarity by supporting people to fully realise their rights, responsibilities and potential as global citizens in order to take meaningful action for a just and sustainable world.
Santa Sabina has been involved in WWGS for ten years. This year Santa Sabina was awarded the Citizens Global Passport Award by WWGS. This is an EU recognised quality mark, acknowledging and celebrating the great work happening in schools in GCE.
