Trade and Development Minister Joe Costello joined students at Gaelscoil Bharra in Cabra today to launch the Our World Irish Aid Awards 2014.
Through this exciting three month programme, primary school students between the ages of 8 and 13 will learn about the lives of children in developing countries, and will then undertake a creative project to express what they have learned under the theme of “A Better Future for All the World’s Children”. Schools whose projects show creativity and a good understanding of the theme will receive an ‘Our World Irish Aid Awards’ plaque at the regional awards ceremonies in May, and a selection of the top entries will be invited to receive an award at the final awards ceremony in June. At this ceremony, the judging panel will then select one outstanding project to achieve the overall ‘Our World Irish Aid Awards’ trophy.
Registration for the programme is now open and the deadline for entries is Friday, March 21st 2014. For more information on how to take part in the Our World Irish Aid Awards 2014, please visit
