This event will offer a debrief for teachers on the recent student conference on Degrowth and provide a space to reflect and consider next steps on exploring Degrowth in their school community. In addition, it will offer an opportunity for schools to consider how their existing (and future) WWGS grant funding can be used to support Degrowth in their school.

Do people matter as much as profit?
Is our society more than just an economy?
Are people and the planet interconnected?
For countries to thrive, does our world or climate have to suffer? 

This year's WWGS student conference will be bringing young people across Ireland together to help answer these questions, and explore the possible solutions.

In exploring how we can create a better balance towards happiness, well being, and the broader environment, we will see how some of our own WWGS schools are tackling this issue, as well as leaders from industries including fashion, business, politics, and farming, to name a few. 

Examples of themes explored on the day:  Tax justice, trade justice, ethical consumption and production, fast fashion, biodiversity crisis, global inequality, workers rights. The conference will close with the Global Passport Award ceremony, where we will celebrate schools who were successful in obtaining an Award for their commitment to Global Citizenship Education this year.
