The 2010 campaign teams up with FIFA celebrating the first World Cup final to be held in the continent of Africa. The theme is a simple but forceful one: 1 Goal: Education for ALL. The Irish Coalition for the Global Campaign for Education is asking you to get active towards 1 Goal-Education for All. By getting involved in this campaign you can help people in developing countries change their lives by supporting their need for life long education. The highlight of the campaign is the Global Action Week for Education, 19th-25th of April, 2010. During this week everyone can take part in activities and focus on raising awareness in local communities and reminding the Irish government of its Education for All commitments.
