Past Achievements
Our club has been in existence since 2005
Over the past 13 years we have established many long-term overseas partnerships with community groups whom we visit almost on a yearly basis. In 2019, we were awarded the NIE Strong Partnership Award (Overseas) for the third consecutive year.
Long Term Strategy
We aim to help student teachers develop pedagogical skills aligned to Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) that will be relevant and useful to them
We aim to help our members see the need to identify unaddressed gaps within the society, and to use relevant skills to develop projects and ideas while instilling the key values of empathy and compassion within themselves and their students
