Participants will learn all about the lives of children growing up in Cork during the 1920's. After 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 great-grandparents childhoods might’ve been like!
