A New Life in Ireland, produced and edited by one of our Turkish European Solidarity Corps volunteers Cansu Genç, is a video as part of a wider series of works by our current 2021-2022 season of volunteers. 

Our volunteers, who for the most part arrived in late December, were asked to reflect upon their time in Ireland so far. They were given full artistic reign i.e. they had the chance to produce any message through a style of their choice. 

In this instance, Cansu chose to produce a video. Featuring footage and photos recorded by her or featuring her, A New Life in Ireland offers a glimpse into the lives of our volunteers in Ireland. During their time here, the volunteers have had a chance to experience Newbridge and Kildare Youth Theatre, as well as travel all across Ireland alongside Peter Hussey. 

If you are touched by this video or would like to know more about our volunteers, they can be contacted via volunteers[at]crookedhouse[dot]ie.
