Cork City Council in partnership with the Cork Civic trust funded the Discover Cork School’s History Project – city edition 2006/2007, with sponsorship from Iarnrod Eireann and the Evening Echo. This project is a competition that encourages primary and post primary students to explore the origins of their city and to learn more about Cork’s rich Heritage. Students can enter under as an individual, in a group or as part of a class project and the competition is open to all schools in the cork city and suburbs area.
Coordinated by Kieran McCarthy the project was run very successfully in the 2006/2007 academic year. Over 750 students from primary and post primary schools participated in this project and there were 220 projects in total entered in the competition.
The prize giving event for the Discover Cork Schools History Project - Cork City Edition, was held in the Millennium Hall on Wednesday the 28th of February 2007 and was attended by nearly 300 students, parents and teachers. This project was the first action to be completed from the Draft Cork City Heritage Plan.
