Half way through our #edchatie hour so would love to hear some examples of how students in your schools are engaging in environmental actions or initiatives. Pic below shows some students who are currently (and successfully) running a tree planting project aimed at getting families to plant 🌱

Using the SDGs is a way of introducing important topics around ESD. Can ESD be incorporated into any subject?

There can be different acronyms for this type of education

ESD - Education for Sustainable Development
GCE - Global Citizenship Education
EfS - education for
sustainability
DE - Development education

For this chat I’ll be using ESD. Attached is the UNESCO definition of ESD.

@news.rte.ie I fixed that for you

Great to see the @uplift-ireland.bsky.social have removed the option to share on X. All self respecting organisations should do likewise. There will never be a mass exodus until news orgs and large influencers stop using it. Allow it to be a far right echo chamber. It will eat itself alive.

Chuffed with our new pieces of art from @ciaraioch.bsky.social 👌
Now I’ve to learn all the ainmneacha gaeilge. #art #SpéirGhorm #nature #biodiversity #gaeilge

Tá sé sin fíor. Tháinig sé ina theach dár sicíní le linn na stoirme freisin 😆

I ordered two rollers for a drawer. Look at the box they came in 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fascinating lecture this evening by @bmhayward.bsky.social as part of the @epaireland.bsky.social climate lecture series. Her slides on how the importance of true inclusion of youth voice gives lots of food for thought.

Ireland 2025

Putting a bowl of water out can be a life line for birds in these freezing conditions. Our resident robin has been back and forth to this all morning ❄️

One thing I’m proud of this year is Ireland’s musicians. Every gig I was at this year highlighted the genocide in Gaza and showed solidarity with the Palestinians. Kneecap, Damien Dempsey, @spiderstacy.bsky.social. Tonight on #gradamceoil @eoghanocpbp.bsky.social dedicated his award to Palestine ✊🫶

Our local church has been practicing no-mow in recent years and it’s so rich in wildflowers including pyramidal orchids and these beautiful bee orchids 💚

This year the ISSN brought together 20 students from all over ireland to collaborate and act as Ambassadors for our network. Here are the election issues that are important for them @finegaelparty.bsky.social @sinnfeinireland.bsky.social @fiannafailparty.bsky.social #GE24
