Heritage in Schools is a scheme run by the Heritage Council, here in Ireland. I have recently become a member of the Heritage in Schools panel. This panel is made up of individuals with expertise in various heritage subjects including science, geography, history and culture. Primary schools are encouraged to invite members of the panel to visit their school so that the children may develop a greater awareness of Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage. The children have fun learning outdoors and get to enjoy many different aspects of heritage and the environment. The cost of the visits are subsidised by the Heritage Council.

My own workshops will focus on biodiversity, pollinators, Ireland’s wildlife, and school gardens. Workshops can be tailored to the needs of the school or the individual classes.
I am looking forward to working with schools here in the west of Ireland.

Sounds wonderful – kids really love learning about nature. I volunteered one year teaching a class once a week to 5 yr.olds. It was fun and challenging, too, keeping 17 kids on the same track! 😀

A dynamic approach, that’s what it is. Capturing children at this age couldn’t be better. What an excellent initiative. Wasn’t it David Attenborough who asked why it was that any child is fascinated by examining an insect yet that same enthusiasm is often lost in adults.
