As a school we will be taking part in this project in Term 3. Most of you will be familiar with it after the recent NI Science Week events on the island. Please ensure permission slips for photos etc. are returned asap.
‘In a nutshell, the Future Island-Island project will apply the best design-led research to the ‘real world’ and see which are most feasible on a large scale.
The ambition? That this two-year project will find out what works for Rathlin and what can be applied to other communities – through lifestyle changes, eco-friendly waste management options, and a responsible approach to tourism and heritage by harnessing the power of digital technology. Find out more from Professor Justin Magee, Research Director for Art & Design at Ulster University and Principal Investigator on Future Island-Island.’ (From the website https://www.ulster.ac.uk/events/research/ulster-future-island-island)
