Hello John,
I'm delighted to invite you to the third annual SPARK Youth Arts Festival, 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 peoplebefore, 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.
This training with Raphael Olympio aims to equip youth workers and youth arts practitioners with the skills and knowledge to guide the young people they work with through a creative writing process that could be part of a bigger youth/ arts project. Register >>
Join NYCI’s National Youth Arts Programme and a range of contributors from Local Creative Youth Partnerships to find out more about how they support collaboration, build new local relationships and provide greater opportunities for young people to experience the joy of creativity. Register >>
The SPARK Youth Arts Festival 2024 will draw to a close with a celebration of youth arts projects that were funded as part of the Artist and Youth Work Residency Grant Scheme 2023. Register >>
Please get in touch with me if you have any questions about getting involved in SPARK Youth Arts Festival this year. We would be delighted to hear from you!
