Heritage Keepers

Teachers / Schools

The Heritage Keepers Programme is open to primary schools from all across Ireland. Your class will participate in 5 weekly workshops, each lasting approximately 1 hour, with an additional 1 hour of work for you to do with your class outside the session.

At the end of the programme, your class will plan a project that promotes or preserves an aspect of your local built, cultural, or natural heritage. Heritage Keepers can also provide a grant towards completing this action.

You may also apply for an additional grant which allows your class to organise its own field-trip to a heritage site in your area!
