In this workshop participants will explore the importance of trees and forests in maintaining a healthy environment. You will discover ways humans can live in harmony with trees by discovering the practices of the Dayak tribe in Borneo.
You will also explore the Miyawaki reforestation technique, a Japanese method that accelerates forest growth and enhances biodiversity by densely planting native species, a method adopted in counties across Ireland.
The session will conclude with a focus on actionable steps, encouraging participants to identify opportunities for tree planting in their own communities.
This workshop is is free of charge and recommended for adults and young people age 12+. If for any reason you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket so someone else can enjoy this unique experience.
About the ÉRIU Education Programme
"When the water mysteriously disappears from the well in a warrior clan’s village, an intrepid child descends into the belly of the earth to retrieve it"
The ÉRIU education programme is created by Our Story and funded by the Lifes2Good Foundation. This timely series of immersive workshops is inspired by ÉRIU, the new animation film co-produced by Cartoon Saloon and HerStory, written and directed by Giovanna Ferrari, with support from Screen Ireland and BCP Asset Management.
Each workshop takes you through three distinct stages; the head, the heart, and the hands. This ensures that learning is both comprehensive and deeply felt.
This is not a linear education model - it’s a spiral journey designed to guide you through continuous cycles of learning, healing and deepening your relationship with nature.
Thanks to our dream team for co-creating this programme: Dr. Emma Black, Dr. Easkey Britton, Melanie Lynch, Andrew Simpson, and Szabolcs Karikó.
