Mornington & Laytown

As organiser Atinuke says- “In the Meath Community Time machine project, we pride ourselves in building relationship among the seniors and the youth across the local community.” That strong cross-generational relationship shines through in these lovely interviews.

Trim

Teacher Megan Maguire led the project as Commuinty Organiser in Boyne Community School, Trim. Students ranging from first year to fifth year took part, interviewing seniors in their community and working on unique creative responses inspired by their conversations.
