Participants will learn all about the lives of children growing up in Cork during the 1980s, ‘50s and ‘20s. After selecting their favorite era and doing some research, planning, and group discussion – our aspiring authors will create a fictional diary entry of their very own historical character. Perfect for bookworms and history lovers, this 90-minute workshop will help kids flex their creativity muscles and learn something new about what their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents childhoods might’ve been like!
