Resource Title
Power Up: Supporting communities as they work their way out of poverty
Summary
Power Up has been specifically designed to support the CSPE/Citizenship and Religious Education curricula in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This action-packed series of resources marks 40 years of Trócaire’s Development Education work, from 1973 to 2013.
It explores key concepts such as diversity, inequality, solidarity and justice, and in doing so encourages students to challenge stereotypes and to identify links from the local to the global, through the country lens of India.
