Exploring Collective Memory : rencontre à Grosse-Île [Marie McAndrew]. Hosted by Famine Summer School, Strokestown Park, 7 PM GMT, 2 PM EST

Exploring Collective Memory is a teacher training film recovered from the archives that follows English and French student teachers on an educational visit to Grosse-Île and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site in Quebec to learn about the Famine Irish migration to Canada in 1847. It explores the role of the Irish in shaping teaching practices for immigrant communities. Courtesy of Professor Marie McAndrew and Université de Montréal.
