Workshops for school children on Paul Strzelecki and the Great Famine

We have just initiated a series of workshops for classes from local schools (age 11-12) in various venues hosting the exhibition! We have started in Ballyfermot in October and will continue in Rathmines, afterwards to Arklow and Dun Laoghaire and all the way until the end to 2020. The workshops are conducted by an NUI Galway historian Dr. Tomás Finn, who has prepared a brilliant interactive 50-min programme for participating children. If you represent a school and are interested in taking part, please contact the exhibition curator or your local venue hosting the exhibition to find out more – list of venues is available here. If you would like to know more on the initiative, please have a look at the blurb.
