Historian in Residence for Children
Historian in Residence for Children
Since 2020 Dublin has a Historian in Residence for Children.
The current Historian is Dr Lorcan McEvoy.
The children loved learning about their locality and it was very interactive, which they loved!Teacher, Gaelscoil Inse Chór, Dublin 8
The Historian in Residence for Children further nurtures children on their journeys of discovery through stories and history.
In school or community settings, the programme seeks to provide opportunities and resources to help children uncover the stories of our city and its people, bringing the past to life by finding new and creative ways to engage and connect through history.
By engaging with local communities and keeping people front and centre of history, the Historians in Residence help the people of Dublin City feel a connection to their local history.
