Hello John,

I'm delighted to invite you to the third annual SPARK Youth Arts Festival ([link removed]) , taking place from February 19th–24th 2024.

SPARK is a national event to explore, discuss and celebrate the inspiring world of youth arts practice in Ireland. Even if you've never considered including youth arts in your work with young people before, this is your chance to take part and spark your interest in developing creative activities with young people and embedding youth arts practice in your work! The thematic focus of the 2024 festival is Inclusion in youth arts.
