Cahersiveen People to People

"People to People" ambassadors will spend their Community Day in Cahersiveen.
You will spend virtually every waking moment taking part in community activities, giving back through service projects, and engaging with locals, both young and old. Start by venturing into peat fields where you will harvest this vegetation, used for heating, and then cut it into 'sods of turf' that will soon be delivered to the elderly in Cahersiveen to burn for winter warmth.
Continue giving back to the community when you join your Irish hosts in volunteer activities that enhance the local town or by making a difference to patients at a local hospital by playing bingo, singing, or sharing stories.
Next, experience some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe as you stroll through Cahersiveen, lying at the foot of Beentee Mountain overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Engage with a local and learn about this community’s intriguing history, as well as the political and economic issues facing the region.
Interact with local athletes when you participate in one of Ireland’s most popular sports—Gaelic football.
At the end of the day, put on your dancing shoes and prepare for a “ceili”, which is Irish for party! You’ll learn the art of Irish music and dancing. This evening is all about: “craic!”
