Shared Island, Shared Responsibility: Teaching Social Justice in Initial Teacher Education

The aim of the project is to develop and share a teaching approach to forefronting social justice across two teacher education programmes from two jurisdictions (Ireland and NI) that encourages teacher educators and pre-service teachers to learn with and from each other, not only within their respective jurisdictions but also across jurisdictions. Teacher educators and pre-service teachers from both jurisdictions will share a space as they begin considering how best to approach the teaching of social justice and begin to appreciate the extent to which specific social justice issues are unique (or not) not only to their jurisdiction but also the school context in which they find themselves on school placement.
