Launch of Irish COVID-19 Oral History Project

The Irish COVID-19 Oral History Project is a rapid response oral history project based at DCU focused on archiving the Irish lived experience of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this project is to curate a COVID-19 oral history collection of the Irish experience and how different people in our community are living through this crisis, both in Ireland and abroad.

These oral histories will inform current and future research into shaping responses to future pandemics and/or global crises going forward. They will also enable a deeper understanding of the impact that such global events have on Irish society. To take part in the project, visit their website here.

Unleash the Artist In You

  • For children, teens and adults, the Crawford Art Gallery have a whole host of resources to help you learn to draw, from colouring downloaded masterpieces to exploring tone values. There are numerous videos to watch, and even groups to join. Visit the Crawford Art Gallery Learn and Explore page here.
  • Explore and learn about art, from children’s drawing activities and colouring to podcasts and the National Gallery on Youtube. Discover it all on their site here.
  • Learning to draw with Don Conroy isn’t just for the littles, it’s for not so littles who want to brush up on their drawing skills. It’s for quality time together expressing your artistic skills, or lack of. It’s for fun. Visit Don’s Youtube page here.

Keeping it in the NeighbourFood: Virtual Farmers Markets Bring Local Produce to Your Home

If you haven’t already started growing your own food, there’s always time with GIY. But in the meantime, let the professionals guide on on great tasting, seasonal produce, and all from your locality. From cheese, to chicken, fish to flowers – you’ll be well fed and have your home looking pretty in no time! Find your local market on the Neighbourfood site here.
