One World Workshop

Hey Guys, some of you may or may not know that One World Week is taking place the 14th – 22nd of November. One World Week is a week of youth-led awareness raising, education and action, during which young people learn about local and global justice issues and take action to bring about change. One World Week takes place every year in the third week of November and is organised to coincide with the UN designated Universal Children’s Day on November 20th, which is the anniversary of the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

On Saturday, we will have a workshop from the Galway One World Centre, which will look at critical analysis of the unequal power relationships that historically and currently exist between diverse groups, both locally and globally.

The aim of the Galway One World Centre is to empower people through education, direct action, networking, outreach and provision of resources to create a world where all people have equality of rights, opportunities and respect.   You can find out more about the centre on http://www.galwayowc.org/

The workshop will be interesting and get our minds thinking about the bigger picture of equality. Hope to see you there!
