Sharing your heritage project on social media

Great, you’ve decided on your heritage project idea, you’ve completed your research and you’re ready to share your project. You can submit your completed heritage project through our project submission form in the project organisers’ portal on the National Heritage Week website. But first you have to share it with the world.

Heritage for all: Sharing the heritage discovery process

National Heritage Week 2021 is all about getting as many people involved in heritage as possible. This year, the Heritage Council is encouraging project organisers to connect with a group or individuals in their community who may not feel included in local heritage. Organisers can also take this opportunity to explore an aspect of local heritage that is seldom considered or celebrated.

From generation to generation: Heritage for all ages

What can older generations teach us about heritage? How can the lens through which young people view heritage improve our understanding? During National Heritage Week 2021, project organisers are encouraged to include different age groups in their heritage projects.

First looks: Organising projects as ‘heritage newcomers’

In 2021, National Heritage Week wants to involve as many people as possible in heritage. Our ‘heritage newcomers’ approach is a general invitation to individuals, families and communities who have never participated in National Heritage Week before, to work on a heritage project.

Exploring heritage during COVID-19

The ongoing public health guidelines have been difficult, but they have also provided time to reflect and reconnect with local and global communities. In 2020, National Heritage Week took a new approach – moving away from in-person events and asking organisers to share heritage projects online. While many project organisers found new ways of connecting with and sharing heritage digitally, some focused on the pandemic itself as a historic period in Irish and international history.
