Heritage Week to kick off Friday
The annual Heritage Week will kick off Friday, hosting programs engaging the public to raise awareness of Korean heritage. At over 400 locations from Seoul to Jeju Island, municipalities will showcase their cultural items or practices of exclusive historic significance, according to the Korea Heritage Service, the agency that has been organizing the free event since last year. 'It's an immersive experience open to people as young as grade schoolers,' a KHS official said. At 'Building Your Own Terrarium' program taking place in Seoul, participants will learn how to make a terrarium, a small glass enclosure for holding plants, at the hanok house and atelier of 19th-century landscape painter Yi Sang-beom. In Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, the 'Hyanggyo and Nature' program will introduce visitors to the history of state-run Confucian schools, or hyanggyo, whose establishment dates back to the Goryeo era (918–1392). The "exceptionally rich biodiversity' around hyanggyo premises will also be touched upon, according to the KHS. 'Nongak for Family' is a family-friendly program, where participants will be led to an open field to perform 'nongak,' traditional farmers' music, that served as both a rite and entertainment. 'Remembering Sunduksa' program on Jeju Island will look at how the Buddhist temple Sunduksa influenced life on the island in an immersive exhibition that will highlight heritage artifacts held at the temple. The Heritage Week runs through June 22. Some programs require reservation at

Iconic Wicklow road is focus of new ‘Irish History Podcast' series
The road was constructed by British forces in the aftermath of the 1798 rebellion to quell the Wicklow rebels and bring the so-called 'bandit country' under control. The podcast is curated by Fin Dwyer from the popular Irish History Podcast, and each episode features engaging conversations with local residents, historians, and experts. Cathaoirleach of Wicklow County Council Cllr Paul O'Brien, stated: 'Whether you are a Wicklow resident or visitor, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the Wicklow landscape, this podcast series will be of interest to you. 'I am pleased that this project is being released to coincide with the bicentennial of the death of Michael Dwyer in Australia in 1825, as he was one of the motivations behind the construction of this Military Road in the first place.' Contributors to the podcast include historian Frank Treacy, who shares the story of a unique military cemetery hidden in the mountains; Professor Graeme Warren, who offers insights into the early human history of the region and Robbie Carter, who recounts his experiences working deep underground in the lead mines at Glendasan. Additionally, Carmel O'Toole, a historian and resident of Glenmalure, provides a personal perspective on the area's cultural heritage. The series is available for free listening on the Irish History Podcast. Additionally, the Arklow Municipal District is coordinating a two-day event in Glenmalure to mark the bicentennial of Michael Dwyer's death on August 23, 1825. These events, part of Heritage Week, will include a one-day seminar on Saturday, August 23, and a bus tour of sites associated with Michael Dwyer on Sunday, August 24.
