1. Storytelling – Participants will share their stories and life experiences with each other.
2. Creative writing – From the shared stories, participants, with the support of a professional writer, will work on creating a piece of work. This may take the format of a short story, poem or theatrical piece.
3. Traditional music & song – Working with professional musicians and singers participants will develop an intergenerational performance piece that will link to the written material produced.
4. Digital Media/Film – Participants will use digital media to record the project process and development. They will work with film makers to produce a documentary production on the project and learn new technical skills in digital media and film.
Workshops will be provided free of charge and workshop directors will include storyteller Godfrey Coppinger, writers Gabriel Fitzmaurice & Eileen Sheehan, traditional musician Matt Dean and film maker Chris Fitzgerald.
