Over 30 Cork city primary and post primary schools, parents and teachers were represented at the awards night of the 2023/24 Discover Cork: Schools’ Heritage Project at Cork City Hall on Tuesday February 27th. Over the course of a very relaxed evening participants collected their prizes and got to discuss elements of their work with Lord Mayor Cllr. Kieran McCarty.

The overall Project continues to encourage and work with Cork students in celebrating, highlighting, debating and creating fresh approaches to our cultural heritage. Research and creativity are encouraged in an effort to create relevancy, awareness and appreciation of the past amongst young people. The Project also focuses on students gaining acknowledgement and self-confidence from their work. For more details click here.
