Learning at MoLI

Everybody has a story to tell and we are a museum for everybody. At MoLI, we are committed to inspiring and nurturing creativity for people of all ages and backgrounds.

We provide a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment where anyone can discover a world of literature and imagination, both in person and online. At the core of the museum’s vision is the desire to bring visitors on an inspiring journey through Irish writing, and encourage them to explore their own creative potential.

Families

At MoLI we love working with people. We welcome families every day to take part in creative activities inspired by our love for language – from children's exhibitions, to creative workshops to our beautiful LitLab.

Schools

Our Shut Your Eyes and See schools workshops, delivered in partnership with Maples Group, explore Irish literature, past and present, hoping to inspire the next generation to unlock their creative potential in whatever form it takes.

Can't make it to the museum? Our MoLI in the Classroom workshops are delivered to schools online in partnership with AerCap, and reach thousands of schoolchildren across the island each year.

The Edna O’Brien Young Writers Award

This celebrated creative writing programme is a free five-day creative writing retreat hosted at MoLI during the summer – and resulting in a beautiful publication of new writing.

Throughout the programme, writers aged 15-17 are mentored by one of Ireland’s leading authors, and they meet with publishers, writers, literature academics and fellow writing enthusiasts.
