Hello John,

I'm delighted to invite you to the second annual SPARK Youth Arts Festival, taking place from February 20th–24th 2023.

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 John, 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!
