I’m delighted to share the full complete version of the Earth Charter, its 16 principles and sub-principles in Irish is now available.
It will be presented to the Earth Charter 25+ event by myself, Cathy Fitzgerald, and others from Ireland attending.
Much gratitude to artist and Gaeilgeoir Phoebe Cope for work since 2022 in translating the full version, the Children’s 8-word Little Earth Charter and Song into Irish and then the 8-page Earth Charter (for adults)
The Earth Charter and the Children’s Little Earth Charter, in Irish, can be downloaded here:
The Irish translation joins 65 other translations of the Earth Charter that were created for the inaugural launch of the Earth Charter in 2000 at The Peace Palace.
Acknowledgements:
The translation was commissioned and supported by Dr Cathy Fitzgerald, Haumea Ecoversity, the Carlow Drummin Bog Project and Creative Ireland Carlow through the County Carlow Arts Office.
Hello! Kia Ora! Dia daoibh!
I’m Cathy Fitzgerald, an ecological artist, educator, and founder of Haumea Ecoversity.
Originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, I’ve lived in rural Ireland, the ancestral home of my family, for over 30 years.
Together with my philosopher colleague Dr Nikos Patedakis (USA), we’ve guided over 400 creative professionals worldwide in transformative ecoliteracy training since 2019.
Haumea Ecoversity Community Membership is a vibrant space for lifelong learning, collective wisdom, and creative transformation for a more beautiful, just, and life-sustaining world.
Dr Cathy Fitzgerald
“In these times of great challenge, I’m passionate about ecoliteracy
to promote a wiser, more compassionate and just ecological worldview:
this means raising awareness of holistic thinking, creativity, language, and
head-heart-body practices
—to reimagine and re-enchant education to benefit ourselves,
the community of life and future generations ”
In 2022, I was honoured to be nominated by Earth Charter International, a UNESCO Chair for ESD,
as the Earth Charter Focal Point Communicator for Ireland
