At the National Library of Ireland, students from CBS Westland Row were treated to a special introduction on the life of Seamus Heaney, our national poetic treasure. In a newly built centre, dedicated to his life and work, students received a guided tour and afterwards were invited to undertake a workshop exploring Heaney’s words and ways of working. Led by leaders Sine Downes and Angela McDonagh, the workshop encouraged students to look, think and reflect in new ways. Students responded in a literacy and visual fashion, creating their own poems and pictures during this uplifting workshop session.
