FROM the CORK HERITAGE BLOG... "The Discover Cork: Schools’ Heritage Project focuses on the creation of Cork and asks questions such as who, what, where and why. The importance of such a project in local history is reflected in the educational aims of the history curricula of primary and post-primary schools. Local history is a mould, which helps the student to become familiar with their local environment and to learn the value of it in their lives. Learning to appreciate the elements of the past, can also give students a sense of place in their locality or a sense of identity."
