Drop the devices, get outdoors and become a heritage enthusiast this Wild Child Day
One of the great things about National Heritage Week is that it gives the whole family a chance to get involved. This year, National Heritage Week is about getting as many people as possible to enjoy heritage and the message is ‘open the door to heritage’.
Lig uait na gléasanna, téigh amuigh faoin aer agus bí i do dhíograiseoir oidhreachta an Lá Linbh Fiáin seo
Ceann de na rudaí iontacha faoi Sheachtain Náisiúnta na hOidhreachta ná go dtugann sí deis don teaghlach ar fad a bheith páirteach ann. I mbliana, is éard atá i gceist le Seachtain Náisiúnta na hOidhreachta ná an oiread duine agus is féidir a spreagadh chun taitneamh a bhaint as oidhreacht agus is í an teachtaireacht ná ‘oscail an doras don oidhreacht’.

Heritage for all: Sharing heritage
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.
