The SPHE Conference  Citizenship Education 100 years on was held at NUI Maynooth on12th Nov. 2016. This conference sought to unpack and problematise the concept of citizenship and to explore how we story our lives together in an increasingly globalised world and pluralist Ireland. This conference brought together academics, teachers, student teachers, postgraduate students, health professionals, policy-makers, NGOs and the wider education community, to engage in dialogue about social, personal and health education (SPHE) in Irish primary and post-primary schools.
