The Heritage Council seeks to protect and enhance the richness, quality and diversity of our national heritage for everyone. It works with its partners, particularly at local level, to increase awareness of our national heritage and to highlight its importance to public policy and everyday life.
Have an expert visit your school
Education initiatives run through almost all of the work of The Heritage Council and there are a number of key initiatives, such as The Heritage in Schools Scheme, that particularly reflect The Heritage Council’s outlook and priorities. This nationwide programme, run in collaboration with the INTO, offers a panel of heritage specialists who will, at the request of a teacher, visit a primary school to work directly with the children on topics as diverse as bats and traditional bread making. You can download the directory of specialists and booking forms from the website.
