Changing Ireland, Changing Stories
Thursday, 30 October, 2025
In this special podcast episode, participants from the Changing Ireland, Changing Stories project share their personal journeys through the project, reflecting on how their perspectives on both writing and museums were transformed. What began as an exploration of words and objects became a deeply cathartic process, revealing new ways of seeing, interpreting, and connecting with museum collections. Through honest and thoughtful conversations, the episode captures how writing opened doors to fresh interpretations and emotional resonance with the past. Featuring readings and interviews with project participants from the Irish Refugee Council Youth Group, local Dubliners from Fatima Groups United Community Centre and a group of Ukrainian women from the Liberties Community Project (formerly SICCDA), facilitator Hazel Hogan, Fighting Words Operations Manager Sara Bennett and National Museum of Ireland Assistant Education & Outreach Officer Niamh Keating.
