Cork school wins Our World Irish Aid Awards for 2015
Now in its 10th year, the Our World Irish Aid Awards are designed to help children in Ireland understand global issues, and Ireland’s role in working to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These goals focus on fighting hunger and poverty and improving the lives of those in the world’s poorest countries.
At the national final awards ceremony, the Vicarstown National School students were one of 12 schools exhibiting their projects in Dublin Castle. Commenting on the student’s project the judges said: “The Vicarstown student’s project, Our World In Our Hands, was very impressive and demonstrated a lot learning. The 'Frozen' storybook they created to engage with the younger pupils in the school was really engaging and helped to tell the story of how life in the developing world differs from life in Ireland.”
