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.
Webinars for project organisers
The Heritage Council is pleased to announce that it will deliver a series of webinars to support Heritage Week project organisers in 2021. This June, three sessions will take place to help heritage enthusiasts learn more about creating and sharing their heritage projects.
