M'Ainm Mo Scéal

The programme follows Siún as she learns the story of Joan of Arc while in Belfast, and Séimí as she travels back to the olden days in Omagh. Both segments are presented within the Siún & Séimí programme as part of the same broadcast.

Siún & Séimí is a programme presented as a single episode, forming part of the series that bears the same title. The show follows the two titular figures as they each embark on a distinct learning experience within the island of Ireland. In this episode, Siún finds herself in Belfast, where she is introduced to the tale of Joan of Arc. While she absorbs the story, Séimí is elsewhere, travelling back in time to the ancient days of Omagh. Both segments unfold concurrently, offering viewers two parallel narratives that focus on discovery and historical reflection. The episode places the two journeys side by side, allowing the audience to see how Siún’s encounter with a medieval French heroine contrasts with Séimí’s immersion in the earlier period of a Northern Irish town. By juxtaposing these experiences, the programme highlights the way personal learning can be shaped by place and era. Belfast and Omagh serve as the respective backdrops for Siún’s and Séimí’s adventures. The setting of each location provides a clear context for the characters’ explorations, grounding the episode in recognizable Irish locales while the characters engage with the stories that unfold around them.
