WHO WE ARE
Comhlámh, the Irish Association of Development Workers and Volunteers, supports solidarity-based engagement on the most pressing issues of our time. We are a membership organisation with 50 years’ experience of supporting people and organisations to mobilise for global justice. All Comhlámh’s work is underpinned by a commitment to Global Citizenship Education (GCE), which deepens understanding of the structural causes of inequality, unsustainability, as well as the connections between local and global challenges.
HOW WE WORK
Comhlámh believes that transformational change can emerge from providing spaces where people can work in solidarity, bringing attention to our shared humanity and interdependence in ways that can enable us to move towards a world beyond injustice. All areas of our work are connected, particularly with regards to deepening understanding of the structural causes of inequality, injustice, and unsustainability. Comhlámh prioritises working collaboratively as a team, actively seeking synergies both within our work and with the work of others. Comhlámh as an organisation seeks to be the change it is trying to bring about. We work to bring our values of respect, integrity, solidarity, and ecological sustainability into all areas of our engagement. We commit to looking honestly at ourselves, our policies, and practices, identifying where and how we need to change and then making those changes. We recognise this work is ongoing and needs to be a collective effort: we cannot achieve change alone, and we work closely with many individuals and organisations (nationally and internationally) whose goals are aligned around transformational change.
