Award-winning children’s author, Sadhbh Devlin will visit a number of schools in Louth in October and November working with students to create mini-books and comics inspired by Irish mythology and our links with our Iberian friends.
Dates – 19th & 20th October and 11th , 12th & 13th November
We are partnering with 5 Louth schools where students will work with Sadhbh and be inspired to imagine our shared celtic roots, exploring the stories that may connect us and invent some new stories of our own. Irish relations with Portugal can be traced back to the mists of antiquity. Archaeological evidence from the Iron, Bronze and Megalithic periods charts the earliest contacts between the Iberian Peninsula and Ireland. Recent DNA analysis also suggests that the Portuguese-Iberian peoples were ancestors to the Gaelic Irish, dating from the last Ice Age.
