While there, star teachers were taken through back-to-back basics that included creative teaching methods by their Irish counterparts.

In an engagement at the Department of Foreign Affairs Global Education Centre on Friday, the visiting teachers participated in practical demonstrations on how to instil creativity in their learners as well as break complex and abstract subjects like sustainable development goals to a level easily understood by students.

Star teachers participated in practical demonstrations.
