THE ARTS IN OUR SCHOOLS

On Friday 21 October, at the NAPD Conference, in Killarney, there will be a workshop on the Arts in our Schools, led by Pat Kinsella, Principal of Coláiste Choilm and his colleagues, Áine Andrews and Tim Burke. They will be joined by Brendan Flynn, who has been at the helm of the Clifden Community Arts Week for as long as it has existed, Paddy O’Conor, who master-minded a brilliant arts project in Castletownbere a few years ago, Jane O’Hanlon, Education Officer of Poetry Ireland, and other luminaries.

Philip King is one of the key-note speakers at the Conference – his experience, enthusiasm and inspiration will be available to all. We will also have a visit from Jimmy Deenihan, Minister for the Arts.
