The launch brought together Irish Aid, policymakers, civil society organisations, European partners and Neale Richmond, Ireland\u2019s Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report recognises Ireland as a leading example of effective policy and practice in Global Citizenship Education (GCE). It highlights the long-standing commitment of Irish Aid, the strength of civil society collaboration, and the importance of continued investment in education that promotes democracy, human rights, international solidarity, climate justice and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Timely Report for Global Citizenship Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published at a time of growing global challenges \u2014 including threats to democracy, human rights, peace, multilateralism and the spread of disinformation \u2014 the report strongly affirms the value of GCE and argues that it is needed now more than ever to support resilient, inclusive and democratic societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also notes Ireland\u2019s long tradition in this area, including over 50 years as an actor in development cooperation and a similarly long commitment to GCE. This provides an important foundation as Ireland looks ahead to the next phase of its work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommendations for the Next GCE Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Peer Review offers several important recommendations for the future of GCE in Ireland. These include strengthening cross-government cooperation, building more structured dialogue between Irish Aid and civil society, supporting long-term leadership, and ensuring that future work responds to current challenges such as misinformation, polarisation and inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recommendations are especially timely as Irish Aid prepares for consultation on the next <strong>Global Citizenship Education Strategy 2026\u20132031<\/strong>. At Global Education Time, we welcome the report and look forward to working with Irish Aid and other stakeholders to support the implementation of these recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Ireland prepares for its <strong>Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2026<\/strong>, the report also offers valuable learning for Global Education policymakers and practitioners across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Download the report here<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gene.eu\/peer-review-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GENE Peer Review Report on Global Education in Ireland<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GENE Peer Review Report on Global Education in Ireland was launched on 30 June at a national event in Dublin.
