Arts in Education Portal Spring Regional Day
Date: Saturday 17 May 2025
The Arts in Education Portal team is delighted to announce the full programme for our Spring Regional Day on Saturday 17 May at VISUAL Carlow. This event will showcase arts in education projects and creative practice in the South-East.
We invite teachers, artists, educators, arts managers and anyone with an interest in arts in education in Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford and beyond to join us for this free event. We welcome regional audiences to connect with us during a series of events, where practitioners can learn more about the Portal and what it offers, tell us about their work, connect with the community at regional level, share practice and find out what opportunities or events are available in their local area.
The programme starts with two presentations in the morning: Learning at VISUAL: Artist-led approaches for working with children of school-age with Learning Curator Clare Breen; and Practical Podcasting with Creative Associate Artist Muireann Nic Cába showcasing podcasting as an engaging medium for young people.
In the afternoon, join us for some hands-on creativity with a choice between two exciting workshops. Come to Rooted in Art: A Kokedama Workshop with Agnieszka Krym where you will create your own kokedama, a moss-covered plant sculpture rooted in the Japanese tradition of botanical art. Alternatively, join Olana Kucher for Circular Fashion & Create Without Pollution: Youth Skills for Sustainable Fashion. These workshops promise to be interactive, fun and informative!
