Little Gifts, Big Dreams... A University of Limerick Christmas Story

What if a little gift symbolised a very big dream...?
This Christmas, University of Limerick is spreading the message of supporting childhood curiosity and seeing the true magic of education.
Step back into that childhood sense of imagination - where you could grow up to be anything you wanted - as two young girls see their letters to Santa come to life on the UL campus.
This beautiful Christmas story is underpinned by the poignant musical track ‘Letting Go’, by the late, great Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, one of Ireland's best-known musicians, composers and academics. Mícheál was Emeritus Professor of Music at University of Limerick and founded UL’s Irish World Academy of Music and Dance in 1994.
Imagine who you might still grow up to be?
