The 2026 SDG Advocates gathered at the beautiful Sonairte Ecology Centre for a weekend of challenging and thought-provoking workshops. With contributions from guest speaker Ambassador David Donoghue and Hilary Darcy from Financial Justice Ireland, participants explored the interconnected nature of the Sustainable Development Goals, systems thinking, the global financial system, and the dynamics of power that shape our world. The weekend provided an opportunity to deepen understanding, challenge assumptions, and reflect on how we can work together to create a more just, sustainable and equitable future. Thanks to Sonairte for the delicious vegan BBQ.

🌟 The ripple effect of education is real.

We're delighted to share our SDG Advocate Training Impact Study (2018–2024), reflecting on seven years of supporting adult and community educators to take action for a fairer, more sustainable world.

Since its launch, the SDG Advocate Training has brought together educators, community workers and changemakers from across Ireland to learn, reflect and turn ideas into action. This Impact Study goes beyond the numbers, sharing the experiences of participants and exploring how the programme has influenced their work, their communities and their everyday lives.
