➡ Shares appreciated ⬅ ICYMI! Two special places were celebrated by school pupils when they worked together to learn about the Giant’s Causeway/ Causeway Coast World Heritage Site and the Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales.

The work to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Sites is part of a project involving Portrush Primary School and Ysgol Gynradd Llanllyfni in Wales.

The pupils joined facilitators and project partners in exploring the rich heritage, stories and landscapes of the sites. Through creativity, learning and storytelling, the project created meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences for everyone involved.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time, enthusiasm and talents to make the project such a success. Special thanks to Lyndsay from SHADE Social Media Management for producing this fantastic ‘Footsteps of Giants’ video, which captures the spirit and achievements of the project so well.

Featured Project

Magilligan Tree Nursery

Magilligan Tree Nursery helps the community through prison rehabilitation, community and environmental benefits.

Since its launch in 2022, the team have insisted on the ecologically responsible growth and distribution of UK and Ireland-sourced trees. This supports the resilience of native trees by reducing the risk of imported trees bringing disease into the local population.
