About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours
  • Ages 12+

This experiential workshop invites participants to explore their personal and collective relationships with water—rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans—by mapping memories, emotions, and observed changes of the watersheds they belong to. They will reconnect with water's importance through storytelling, deepening their understanding of the interdependence between humans and water and reflecting on environmental change.

In the new ÉRIU film, by sharing water with one another Ériu and her friends break the dominant story of power over nature and one another and begin to create a new story of care and connection, with downstream benefits for everyone.

This exercise invites participants on a similar journey. Through creative expression and scientific inquiry, participants will explore how our lives, our bodies and our communities are connected to the watersheds and bodies of water that we live with and that move through us. When we restore the Earth’s waters we restore life.

This workshop is recommended for adults and young people age 12+. It works well with intergenerational groups so please bring your grandparents!

This workshop is free of charge. 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.
