Fionnuala specialises in delivering workshops in traditional singing, folklore, culture and heritage, focusing on your school’s immediate area. She engages pupils of all ages and encourages them to learn about their local area, its history, people, trades, customs, politics, social history and much more through the traditional songs, poems and folklore of their area. She invites pupils and teachers to engage in the research process, the histories of the songs, singing, song-writing, illustrating and discussion to create a sense of belonging, encourage active citizenship, bringing subtle attention to areas such as cultural diversity, personal responsibility, biodiversity and well-being.
