Research
Global Village, with the support of DCU, are carrying out research in a number of areas to examine what is curently available and what more is needed to support GCE in Primary Schools.
Schools involved in our Pilot Programme
We initially started with 16 pilot schools, but as we enter our first phase, we’re expanding our reach with the help of workshops. We’re grateful to our pilot schools for their support, and now, we’re excited to offer workshops and webinars to a broader audience of primary educators.
