For Higher Education Staff

Want to take a stand for justice, equality and sustainability on campus? STAND partners with higher education staff across Ireland to bring Global Citizenship Education (GCE) to staff and students.

Two women sit on wooden chairs in a cozy room. The woman on the left has long curly hair and glasses, writing in a notebook. The woman on the right in a pink blouse holds a green mug, attentively observing.

STAND’s mission is to mobilise third-level students to become leaders who, throughout their lives and careers, stand up for global justice, equality, and sustainability. 

We are a national, non-profit organisation working across the higher education sector in Ireland. We are a strategic partner of Irish Aid, part of the Department of Foreign Affairs, contributing to implementing their global citizenship education strategy.

Why It Matters

Higher education has a vital role in preparing students to understand these issues, develop critical skills, and imagine fairer and more sustainable futures.

Get Involved

If you’d like to bring STAND to your campus – through trainings, the Global Solidarity Festival, or other opportunities – we’d love to connect. Please email us at [email protected].
