A Cork Folklore Project Listening Evening : 'Circular Tales’

Slocking apples, chocolate crumb and collecting waste in 1940s to 1960s Cork City.

As part of the Lifelong Learning Festival and in conjunction with Ballyphehane Learning Neighbourhood, the Cork Folklore Project will share stories and memories from their archive of oral history interviews with Cork City people. To celebrate the launch of the project ‘Circular Tales’, they will present stories of how Cork City communities in the 1940s to 1960 stretched resources, earned extra money, and creatively appropriated all sorts of goods from chocolate crumb to apples to fish. Their colleagues from the Environmental Research Institute will respond in a reflection on how these memories are relevant to current concerns about ecological sustainability.
