2. Trócaire
   Trócaire has produced a series of resources for History and other materials, some of which have been recommended and used as part of the Department of Education's SPHE in-service programme. Each year Trócaire's Education & Campaigns team designs and delivers a special Education & Action pack for both primary and post-primary
   schools to coincide with its Lenten Campaign. These teacher resources
   contain activities, stories and images and are ideal for exploring a global issue from a personal perspective. They also provide the opportunity to take action for global awareness and justice. These packs are usually delivered to schools in the Spring.
