“I thought it was amazing. It really brought everything to life for the kids. They learned an awful lot about Irish Aid and the Global Goals. We have a range of children from different backgrounds, different countries and different cultures. A lot of them felt represented during the workshop and even learned a bit more about their cultures and their countries. I would really recommend this workshop to all schools.” - Firhouse ETNS
