Econo-wha? A 2-week Online Teacher Training Event for Post-Primary Teachers, starting 3rd May!
08 February 2023
Teachers, we would love you to join us in this special teachers' edition of 'Econo-wha?' - a two-week online course for post-primary teachers that will help you explore the economy and financial system through a global justice lens.
With two consecutive workshops held on Wednesday 3rd and 10th May from 6-8 pm, we will explore:
- Session 1: A GCE approach to Economic and Financial Justice (3rd May)
- Session 2: Debt Justice & Tax Justice (10th May)
What about Econo-wha?
Econo-wha? is an educational resource, which Financial Justice Ireland has been running for a number of years now, to build confidence in speaking about and acting on the issues of economic and financial justice. Over 100 participants have already taken part in this course to gain a fundamental understanding of finance and economics from a social justice perspective while exploring themes of debt, tax, and inequality.
During the two sessions, we will provide an open and supportive environment that encourages you to question, critique and debate, - with an emphasis on unlearning as well as learning - as we facilitate a deeper understanding of the root causes of global injustice while imagining solutions for a fairer and more equitable world.
Interested?
Then join us for a second run of this popular post-primary course!
Registration
Please register on Zoom and the course link will be sent to you once registered. This will be a recurring link that will be used for both sessions.
PS. And just if you have time... we would love you to consider the following, in advance of starting the course:
- What does Global Citizenship Education have to do with economic and financial justice?
- Why do debt crises keep happening around the globe?
- What is the link between the economy, inequality, and well-being
- Who should set the rules for tax?
We look forward to seeing you on 3rd May!
