To mark the centenary of Northern Ireland, individuals shared stories and thoughts about its past, present, and future, on the podcast What Northern Ireland Means to Me. The podcast was presented by accomplished broadcast journalist, Julia Paul.

Get underneath the skin of the podcast at this workshop event. We’ll hear from some of the contributors, before we go into groups to share your own perspectives on the question at the heart of each episode.

What is your association with this place? How do you see its future?

We’ll finish by presenting familiar and new perspectives, fed back from the groups. Indeed, we encourage participation with and learning around cultural heritage in Northern Ireland, through the exploration of personal stories.

WNIMTM was part of a set of projects of the Shared History Fund, which was funded by the Northern Ireland Office and administered by The Heritage Fund.
