Liberties Sustainability and Social Regeneration Tour
For their final class Sustainable and Regenerative Tourism (TU953/2,TU747/3 and Erasmus) visited the Liberties of Dublin to look at issues relating to sustainability, social regeneration and tourism. Led by Anthony Freeman 4th generation Liberties resident, and tour guide with https://inourshoeswalkingtours.ie/ a social enterprise initiated in the area, he gave an insight into the lesser known facts and figures about the history, the Living Culture and the positive and negative impacts of tourism on the Liberties.
The tour culminated in a small garden which has been developed by him on a small piece of derelict land in the shadow of St. Patricks Tower, where in the glorious sunshine, the plants, greenery and the humming of bees provided a fitting end to the module!
