I deliver engaging, inquiry-based heritage workshops that connect students with Ireland's natural and cultural coastal heritage. Through observation, investigation and hands-on activities, students develop a deeper understanding of our marine environment while strengthening scientific, geographical and critical thinking skills.

Students investigate Ireland's dynamic coastline by exploring rocky shores, sandy beaches and intertidal habitats. Through practical field investigations, species identification, habitat surveys and discussion, they discover marine biodiversity, ecological relationships, coastal processes and the importance of conserving our natural heritage. Activities are adapted to suit classroom or field-based learning.

This workshop explores how Ireland's coastline has shaped communities throughout history. Students investigate traditional fishing practices, maritime trade, shipwrecks, the Spanish Armada, local folklore and changing coastal livelihoods using maps, artefacts, photographs and historical evidence. Learners examine how our maritime heritage continues to influence communities today.

Students explore the relationship between people and the sea through Ireland's coastal heritage. Using current environmental challenges alongside traditional knowledge, they investigate marine conservation, climate resilience, biodiversity protection and active citizenship. Activities encourage critical thinking about how individuals and communities can protect Ireland's coastal environments for future generations.
