Working Together

Imagination. Education. Collaboration.

  • Storytelling is a collaborative exercise. For more than a decade now we have worked with our audiences, education groups at all levels, corporate and social groups. All of this has been with the aim of learning through the construction and use of narrative and imagination.
  • Everyone has a story to tell, whether it’s an individual, a brand or a group who share a common message. Our passion is to work with you to help you tell your story.
  • We have built a network both in Ireland and all across Europe, giving us access to a wealth of knowledge and experience.

School Groups

Learning through Storytelling

  • Here at the National Leprechaun Museum, we build the experience around you. Whatever your aim, we want to work with you to create memories, educate and experience the imagination.
  • From learning through play for a younger audience, working with Irish Epics for Junior and Senior cycle students, to working with Language Schools to bring their Irish Experience to life.
  • When you learn to tell a story a whole new world opens up for you! You learn about your own story and how to share it with the world around you.

“This museum was unlike any other I’ve been to, in a positive way. It’s a multimedia venue but was unlike anything else as it revolves around storytelling.”

Susan O’Reilly Boston, USA

I absolutely loved the story teller and learned so much about the Irish Folkstories!! The thought they put in the arrangement really paid off. Feels like stepping into a different world.
