On #WorldChildrensDay, our Creative Schools Director Mags Walsh spoke to the Irish Independent about how the Creative Schools programme provides opportunities for children and young people in schools across Ireland to explore creativity and artistic expression. The programme has now reached one in every four schools in Ireland, with 184 schools taking part for the first time this year. https://lnkd.in/ep3gvV-s 📷: Brian Cregan

In this #WorldChildrensDay video, Jasper of the Children's Panel at Baboró International Arts Festival for Children interviews Marc Mac Lochlainn, Artistic Director of Branar, to find out more about their important work. We're proud to support artists and organisations that work to ensure the right of all children and young people to participate and express themselves freely in the arts and to have their say in the development of the arts is upheld.

We support the right of every child in Ireland to create and connect through the arts in a safe space. For World Children's Day 2024, we're handing the mic to young creatives to discuss and celebrate children and young people's arts. In this clip, Jasper and Joanne of the Children's Panel at Baboró International Arts Festival for Children interview our Director Maureen Kennelly about her early experiences of the arts. #WorldChildrensDay
