Facilitator
Maria Edgeworth Centre – Letter Keepers
As a Letter Keeper, the Maria Edgeworth Centre collects introductory letters written by participants and makes them available for others to read and reply to. Writers can either leave a letter to be discovered by someone else, or choose a letter from the collection and write a thoughtful reply. All correspondence is sent by post through the project’s international network of Letter Keepers. The Sunday Letter Project–a simple, beautiful idea that brings people together through handwritten letters exchanged with strangers, slowly and thoughtfully.
This event is kindly supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport under their After Hours at the Museum scheme.
