One World Week

What is One World Week?

One World Week is a week of youth-led awareness raising, education and action that takes place throughout Ireland during the third week in November every year. During One World Week young people learn about local and global justice issues and take action to bring about change. Youth groups all over the country do activities from the education pack. Some organise public events, quizzes and debates, invite guest speakers or have intercultural evenings. Many groups publicly display the work they have done in preparation for One World Week, or lead other people in doing a public action.

One World Week 2012: Bouncing Back and Beyond!

One World Week 2012 - the theme was about exploring resilience in young people in Ireland and around the world. ‘Bouncing Back and Beyond’ was the educationa resource produced to help youth groups to look at the factors contributing to young people feeling stressed, such as alcohol, drugs, bullying, crime, depression and suicide.
