The DCU Changemaker Schools, established in September 2020 is a network of 28 innovative primary schools in Ireland who were chosen for their pioneering work in the development of the skills of empathy, creativity, leadership, and teamwork. Over the course of the past year this professional learning network has grown in strength and numbers as the network scales to 50 schools this year.
This social innovation initiative has one powerful yet simple ambition- to support students as Changemakers. A Changemaker ‘is someone with the skills and confidence to lead change in their home, school and community’. This network of schools aims to support teachers and students in the areas of student voice, agency, and participation as well as active and engaged citizenship to address societal challenges such as inequality, climate change and mental health. The overarching goal is to help students develop their skills for critical thinking, empathy, teamwork, leadership to become active participants in their school and community to support sustainable and positive change.
