Rediscover @ Home Series

The Rediscover @ Home Series looks behind the scenes of the Rediscovery Centre and we will be sharing tips on sustainability and upcycling, providing online tours of the Centre and delivering some curriculum led educational tutorials. This series is supported by EPA, Dublin City Council and Pobal.

Each day the Rediscovery Centre will be posting a new video and they can be viewed below. The schedule is as follows:

Monday – Junior Science tutorials from our Education Programme Manager Sarah Clear

Tuesday – Bicycle Maintenance Tips and Tricks from our Rediscover Cycling Programme Manager Mark Dunn

Wednesday – Furniture & Upcycling Techniques from our Rediscover Furniture Programme Manager Ger Griffin

Thursday – Sustainable Living and Rediscover Fashion inspired workshops by Ecostore Manager Audrey Rutherford

We hope that you are keeping safe, healthy and well-informed and that these videos provide some inspiration at this time of necessary pause. Stay tuned into our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for more on the series. We look forward to sharing more with you!
