For Student Societies & Unions

Do you want to support justice, equality, and sustainability in higher education? STAND partners with colleges and student bodies Ireland to bring Global Citizenship Education (GCE) to campuses.

A diverse group of people sit around a table engaged in discussion, sharing ideas. The warm lighting and casual setting create an atmosphere of collaboration.

STAND partners with USI/AMLÉ (Union of Students in Ireland) and BICS (Board of Irish College Societies).

Bespoke trainings and workshops designed according to needs and interests.

Why It Matters

At a time of intensifying global challenges – from the climate crisis and armed conflict to rising inequality and threats to democracy – global citizenship education is more urgent than ever. 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].
