Comhlámh has been at the forefront of action for global justice over the past 36 years with campaigns on issues including apartheid, asylum rights, anti-racism, high quality aid and effective aid.  Currently our key concern is international trade justice.

During this informal, participatory training we will share the tips and tricks that we’ve learnt from this experience. We also invite in expert guest speakers who are currently working in the global development sector to share their stories and the most up to date advice for successfully fighting global injustice from Ireland.
