Options and Issues in Global Development Course: A one-day workshop for people interested in volunteering overseas in a developing country.
This workshop provides a chance for those thinking of working for global development to meet with others and consider the options available. The sessions will cover subjects such as:
• What is development?
• What are my motivations for wanting to volunteer?
• What types of agencies and projects offer volunteer opportunities?
• Working from Ireland for global development
The course will be facilitated by returned volunteers. The workshop is participatory and is designed to explore the issues in a way that will encourage action on development issues from a justice and equality perspective.
