The School of Culinary Arts and Food Technology, TU Dublin, Summer Edition Newsletter captured the many events, sustainability, research, awards, significant contributions and special civic and community activities which the students and staff members of the school have successfully completed up to the Summer period of 2023. The successful completion of these activities would not be possible without the active and on-going support of the 'INSPIRED' friends of Culinary Arts and our 'Transforming Tommorrow' partners (school supporters) plus our school's industry association supporters. If you would like to support our school and the next Generation of Food, Culinary and Horticulture students, contact us at e: scaft@tudublin.ie

Ireland is a multicultural society, as evidenced by the variety of languages we hear around us all around the country. This can be exciting and/or scary; you might want to close your ears or you can decide to indulge in the richness of multilingualism at your doorstep. Speaking several languages represents a reality for a majority of people across the globe (60% of us speak at least two languages) and is becoming the norm with migration, globalisation and information flow. A friend from South Africa recently explained to me the luxury of being able to think and communicate in multiple languages. In South Africa, 11 national languages are spoken, providing individuals with the opportunity to switch between codes during conversations.

In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, the protagonist was a gifted scientist who had secretly discovered how to impart life to non-living matter. Dr. Frankenstein was visionary and talented, but unfortunately flawed in character and ultimately despairing of his grotesque invention. Amongst other themes, Shelley’s tale reminds us that the future is not impervious to our efforts to shape it and to the consequences of our actions. We can shape the future through human creativity.

This case study explores the techniques used to interpret a commemorative exhibition staged in Dublin city library between the 14th of August and the 31st of October, 2019. The case discusses the way in which multiple media were employed to communicate the exhibition narrative to visitors, and how this resulted in very emotive, personal and meaningful visitor experiences. Through the use of a range of audio-visuals, original images, text, memorabilia and guided tours, the exhibition provided a multi-sensory experience, that engaged different cohorts of visitors with the collections, information and ideas on display. They provided a powerful means of immersing visitors, linking key events, conveying information through both textual and visual narratives, and offered different ways for visitors to interact with the exhibition.

August 22nd is the 100th anniversary of the death of Michael Collins. His life has surpassed living memory, but he still continues to captivate people's imagination generations later. So why are people still so fascinated with Collins?

It is a measure of how much Anglo-Irish relations have changed in modern times that there was no surprise when it was announced that President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Micheál Martin would attend the funeral of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. When Queen Elizabeth's father and predecessor as British monarch, King George VI, died on February 6th, 1952, there was almost zero public expectation that then president, Sean T. O'Kelly, and then Taoiseach Eamon de Valera, would attend the obsequies in London.
