Global Classrooms connects students from Ireland, Kenya, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates (and more countries to join this year), bringing students together to collaborate and act on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through creative, project-based learning.
Students share stories, explore cultural connections, and design real solutions that make a lasting impact.

This international linking project began in late 2020, when Green-Schools partnered with our colleagues and friends at Eco-Schools Kenya and the Kenya Organisation for Environmental Education (KOEE). The initial goal was to co-create five workshops centered on five key SDGs:
Since then, the project has expanded to include more countries, with new engagements throughout the year; including an inspiring Global Goals Week, where students celebrate progress, share ideas, and strengthen their commitment to building a sustainable future.
The school year 2023/2024 has seen an expansion of the Global Classrooms project. Three additional countries, South Africa, Ghana and the U.A.E participated in the project . The Global Classrooms project included a launch event in January 2024, delivery of global goals workshops to 10 schools in Ireland and 1 school in Dubai delivered by Green-Schools staff and workshops delivered in all other countries by Eco-Schools Kenya (KOEE), Eco-Schools South Africa ( WESSA) and Eco-Schools Ghana (CeST) A week long learning festival about the global goals (SDGs) was held for the first time in early May 2022, which included one day of communication and exchange of information between the students. Since 2022 we have held this week long learning festival for the goals each year in late February. We look forward to you joining us in 2025!
