Abstract

The publication of Aistear, the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework (NCCA, 2009) provides a unique opportunity to promote the inclusion of a global and justice perspective in education programmes for young children at pre-school and junior primary school levels. The Framework highlights the importance of global citizenship and diversity issues and provides the opportunity to support educators engaged in their implementation. To facilitate the provision of such support, a partnership between Trócaire and St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra has undertaken research into young children’s engagement with issues of global justice. This article describes the background to the research, the methodologies used, and the research findings and dissemination.
