National Heritage Week 2020


 

Heritage Week 2020

 

In little over three weeks’ time, Heritage Week 2020 gets underway from Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd August. The theme for Heritage Week this year is Heritage and Education but given all that is happening and may still happen with regard to Covid-19, a different approach has been taken this year – one focused more on highlighting projects and marvellous past Heritage Week successes – over what has been established practice for Heritage Week being the holding of events. For the past many number of years Heritage Week in County Cork has traditionally seen over 150 events in as many as 60 different locations each year, however, this year, www.heritageweek.ie is the location to see all that is happening. Already a number of fascinating projects from throughout County Cork have been highlighted - from Skibbereen and Bere Island to Charleville, Cobh and Midleton - with more being uploaded every day. Anyone is welcome to submit a project and by way of guidance, three heritage specialists have produced videos to inspire and help groups on how to go about undertaking their project, based on ‘Heritage on Your Doorstep (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oV62OLvAeE); Heritage and Education (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1RPsUvrugM) and Relearning Heritage Skills (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49nPl61yUSk  ). For anyone looking for additional advice or a strong Cork County focus, simply send an email to Cork County Council at cork.heritage@corkcoco.ie.
