Wicklow Town
Introduction by Amanda, the Wicklow Town community organiser
For the past several weeks, 1st Year Pegasus students created projects as part of the Wicklow Time Machine initiative.
Pegasus is a subject here at Educate Together Secondary School Wicklow whereby students create projects around any area of the curriculum that they are interested in. When we heard about the Wicklow Time Machine project, we knew it would be an excellent opportunity for our class.
Our students have created a number of different creative and innovative projects which were inspired by their interviews with their senior partners, such as photography projects, marmalades made from scratch, a painting of a family crest and even a cookbook accompanied by freshly cooked recipes from the book. We have thoroughly enjoyed every part of the process and are hoping we can get involved in the initiative again very soon!

“Be kind to each other and don’t judge people, you don’t know their circumstances. As you get older you realise that it is important to not judge people.”
