Comhlámh works with Volunteer Sending Agencies as well as other interested organisations and networks on Global Citizenship Education. We prepare tailored Global Citizenship Education training and provide pathways for staff to engage in courses and events happening within Comhlámh and beyond.

Explore the support and courses for organisations below and, while you are here, check out our courses for individuals.

Regular Courses

Comhlámh provides annual Global Citizenship Education training for Volunteer Sending Agencies that have signed up to the Code of Good Practice. Tailored training sessions address agency-specific needs and preferences, with flexible formats ranging from residential weekends to session series.
Recently, Comhlámh has developed tailored trainings for organisations such as Volunteer Ireland, Friends of the Earth and IDEA. With a number of Volunteer Sending Agencies we have also developed pilot initiatives using Global Citizenship Education approaches such as the Dara project, a whole institution approach to ecological sustainability.

See our current courses offering on  News and Events page.

We are always happy to collaborate with new groups, organisations and networks. Interested? Contact sive@comhlamh.org to discuss your options.
