Mercy Ballymahon Transition Year students and clients from Ballymahon Day Care Centre with their awards
Prior to Christmas a number of last year's Mercy Ballymahon Transition Year students, along with six clients from Ballymahon Day Care Centre, were presented with a Gold Award from Dublin City University for best practice in Intergenerational Solidarity Between Generations 2022.
The Gold award and certificates were presented during a ceremony at Ballymahon library and it was a fantastic achievement for all involved to have achieved the overall winner nationwide.
The ‘Community Time Machine’ was a cross-generational project organised by Neighbourhood Network.
For the Ballymahon area the project brought TY students from the Mercy Secondary School together with seniors from the local day centre.
The students gained an insight into the lives of the older persons in their community both present day in the past by meeting with them and conducting interviews.
Their recorded responses and art works and drawings created an image of how the community looks now and how it looked in the past.
The students entered their project into a competition run by DCU and they received the Dublin City University Intergenerational Solidarity Gold Award.
Thank you to teachers Mr Mulvihill, Ms Cribbin, Patricia Briody from Ballymahon Library and former Ballymahon Day Centre Manager, Breda Greaves, for facilitating and promoting this project.
