Local Voices

Local Voices

Please Note: This is a repeat session of the 24th September session

Local Voices is a bright new initiative in the teaching of history and geography with an emphasis on children's voice/agency and citizenship-education. It would interest principals, teachers and schools who are looking to develop in their children a sense of pride in their locality and to foster school-community links. Through a process of interviewing interesting people from the locality, recording/transcribing the interviews, selecting excerpts from the interviews and taking photographs the children and teachers collect a rich and colourful snapshot-in-time of the recent-history and current-geography of their locality.

 

The material is then formed into the school’s own publication for posterity, celebration and future educational activities. Fintan McCutcheon, an experienced Principal, teacher and history/geography-pedagogy enthusiast leads the webinar including examples from schools where the project has been undertaken.
