Buncrana
Introduction by Michelle, Buncrana community organiser, Scoil Mhuire Buncrana
From start to finish working with and getting involved with Neighbourhood Network has been a fantastic and rewarding experience. Aoife could not have been more helpful and guided us through the process from start to finish. The students were introduced to the Community Time Machine project via a zoom which Aoife delivered. The students were immediately interested and began interviewing their mothers, fathers, grandparents etc.
It was a fun and enjoyable project for my Transition year students to get involved with and they have learnt a great deal about themselves and their interviewees. They are looking forward to seeing the project to completion and getting involved with Neighbourhood Network has been a fantastic and rewarding experience.
