Acmhainní do Mhúinteoirí

Múin do do dhaltaí conas nead ollmhór a thógáil, conas gairdín féileacán a chruthú nó conas a gcraobh ghinealaigh féin a dhéanamh!

Maidir leis na hacmhainní atá á soláthar anseo, Saineolaithe Oidhreachta nó múinteoirí a chuir ar fáil iad nó eagraíochtaí eile oideachais a d’ullmhaigh iad. Acmhainní de chineál spraoi agus oideachais araon atá ann agus tá siad ceaptha chun tuiscint agus fiosracht a spreagadh agus a fhorbairt maidir le hoidhreacht iontach nádúrtha agus cultúir na hÉireann.

LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature - Blanket bog school programme resources

Timpeallachtaí Nádúrtha (Tíreolas), Feasacht faoin timpeallacht agus cúram don timpeallacht (tíreolas/eolaíocht), Nithe beo (eolaíocht), Fuinneamh agus fórsaí (eolaíocht), Ábhair (eolaíocht) Eolaíocht, Tíreolas

The Heritage Council is one of several partners in the project and was tasked with the action to develop, and pilot test a schools’ programme in 2022. The aim would be to promote local awareness of the LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature project amongst schools and involve children in assessing a local blanket bog habitat using a scorecard. 

LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature works with landowners and local communities to conserve and improve the quality of blanket bogs and associated habitats in the northwest of Ireland (https://www.wildatlanticnature...). The Heritage Council is one of several partners in the project and was tasked with the action to develop, and pilot test a schools’ programme in 2022. The aim would be to promote local awareness of the LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature project amongst schools and involve children in assessing a local blanket bog habitat using a scorecard. The hands-on, practical involvement would introduce children to the project and their local blanket bogs and build enthusiasm for blanket bogs generally - an enthusiasm which, it was hoped, they would share with their families, friends, and neighbours. The suite of resources were developed by the Irish Peatland Conservation Council and Aengus Kennedy (NatureNorthWest) with input from the project partners.

Travelling Voices

Scéal (Stair), Staidéir áitiúla (stair), An saol, an tsochaí, obair agus cultúr san am atá caite (stair), Leanúnachas agus athrú thar am (stair) Stair

A 20 minute video filmed in July and August, 2022 highlighting the rich culture and heritage of the travelling community in Co. Wexford.

Traditional singer, researcher, folklore collector and Heritage in Schools Specialist Rachel Uí Fhaoláin (Ceol Mo Chroí) and Digital Storyteller/Filmmaker John Ó Faoláin (Traditional Archive Channel) worked with the travelling community in Co. Wexford in association with Ferns Diocesan Youth Service (FDYS) and the Heritage Council.

Participating children engaged in hands-on learning with the two artists and very open discussions around further opportunities for the travelling community in areas of filming, sound, lighting, traditional song, storytelling, performance, recording/archiving etc.

The learning outcomes included the development of important digital skills while exploring the importance of sharing and archiving the songs, language, customs & traditions which are passed onto the children from the older members of their families down through the generations.

The project was funded by the Heritage Council through the Heritage in Schools Summer Programme for 2022.
