The Inter - Generational Heritage Project
Picture of Our Past
This is an exciting new intergenerational project whereby Primary 5 children from local Coleraine (West Bann) Schools, Killowen and St John’s Primary, have come together with senior citizen’s from the Churchlands Ward to exchange experiences about school days. This group is working with children’s author Declan Carville to produce a book which will hopefully be published in time for Christmas 2007
Some of the topics the young people have discussed with the senior citizens include 'what young people did to have fun', 'what they watched on TV back in the 1930's and 1940's' and 'where they went on holiday'
You can imagine that some of the answers cetrainly gave the kids pause for thought - and their pictures, comments and authentic
photographs of Coleraine through the ages promise to make this book something quite special.
