DICE - Development and InterCultural Education
Integrating Development & Intercultural Education in Initial Primary Teacher Education
About DICE
The central aim of the DICE project is the inclusion of development education and intercultural education as essential elements of initial teacher education in Ireland. It works with college lecturers and student teachers of the five teacher training colleges in the Republic of Ireland. By targeting the skills, knowledge and values of people involved in education the project seeks to promote global solidarity, human rights and environmental awareness and it tries to develop the ability to recognise and challenge discrimination and inequality, globally and locally. The project also tries to challenge perceptions and assumptions of those engaged in education in relation to the world and the society we live in. In addition, the DICE project undertakes research in the theory and practice of development education and intercultural education. This research is framed in the global context of rapid change and of unequal development.
The Church of Ireland College of Education in Rathmines is the host college for the DICE team.
