FAQs

> What type of project can you create for the awards?

It can be a picture, a drawing, a poster, a collage or frieze. You could make a movie, compile a booklet, make up a quiz, conduct an interview, carry out a survey, make a model, write a song - in fact, anything that contains a message about global development.

Entering for the awards

Once the projects are completed they should be submitted by Wednesday 5th December 2007, accompanied by a completed entry form and sent to:

Real Event Solutions

Schools who enter projects which have consistently shown an in-depth understanding of the subject and creativity will receive an "Irish Aid Our World Global Schools' Awards" plaque.
Ten projects that have shown an excellent understanding of the issues will be invited to an awards ceremony in Dublin to receive an award.
One additional entry which has been judged to have created an outstanding project will also be invited to attend the ceremony and will receive the "Irish Aid Our World Global Schools' Awards" trophy
