    2019-08-01 14.03.17-1-01This episode focuses on our connections with the river by experiencing it from on the surface or on the banks. Despite everything else going on around the city – the traffic, the rushing, the noises – the river itself passes, threading its own course. By being on or by the river we can feel affinities to it, a sense that links us with its calming presence.

    This episode looks at the crossings of the Lee with a focus on the bridges found in the city. The city’s expansion from its medieval core from the late 16th century involved initial building of bridges between the marshy islands before culverting over most of the channels. Then, as the urban are grew, crossings were required along the banks linking the central island with the south and north sides. As well as providing an overview of the topic, specific reference is made to South Gate Bridge, St Patrick’s Bridge, the Shaky Bridge, Brian Boru and Clontarf Bridges, and the Jack Lynch Tunnel.

    Time: 12.30-2.30pm

    Booking is required

    StFin

    This series of guided writing workshops will lead small groups through the streets of Cork city centre connecting pilgrimage sites. Each workshop will be 2 hours long in total, involving walking to locations such as St FinBarre’s Cathedral and the Nano Nagle Centre, supported writing time, and a space to share and discuss in the City Library.* The initiative is being facilitated by Dr Kathy D’Arcy, creative writing teacher and poet, and Dr Richard Scriven, Geographer in UCC, who have expertise in pilgrimages and working with community groups. It is being run in conjunction with Cork City Library. You can attend just one workshop, several of them, or all; however, they will be limited to 10 people, so booking is essential. Participants aged under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For details and booking contact Kathy D’Arcy gobnait3[at]gmail.com

     

    For walking: Good shoes, raingear, umbrella, sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable clothes, tissues.

    For writing: Sturdy notebooks (one large, one small) and pens, plastic pocket to protect writing.

    What to expect? Mostly very easy walking with stops to sit and write/meditate/discuss the routes (we may sit on the ground); quiet, meditative walking and thinking interspersed with periods of writing and discussion; final friendly sharing of work created.

    Who is it for? Everyone, all levels of writing experience and none! Participants will need to be able to negotiate the city streets and roads.

     

    *The workshops will not be religious in nature, rather they will involve exploring the historic paths and the creativity they can generate.

    The high rates of food poverty, or food insecurity, in Ireland, and the different types of response are outlined by Tara Kenny, PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography, UCC. This conversation illustrates the complexities involved and the inadequacies of government policies, which rely on the charitable sector to help feed people caught in food poverty. Dr Richard Scriven also discusses community gardens with Tara, and the social role they can play (https://www.facebook.com/sustainablefoodlabcork/). Ultimately, the issue of food insecurity can be addressed through official policy, which requires voters to advocate for change, you can also support the work of different organisations in the meantime, some are listed below.
