Creative Clusters Initiative: Minister Foley Announces creation of 21 new Creative Clusters The Minister for Education Norma Foley today announced the creation of 21 new 2022 Creative Clusters comprising 78 schools. Creative Clusters is an initiative taking place as part of Creative Ireland and under the Schools Excellence Fund. The Department of Education’s budget for Creative Clusters in 2022 is €595,000. Under this scheme to support schools to build capacity in creativity, schools in each cluster will enjoy access to a specialist facilitator, artist or creative expertise in whatever their chosen area of interest or theme might be. These resources will help the schools to build a project of learning and activities tailor-made for their students. As part of this funding allocation, a cluster may receive up to €15,000 funding to help bring their plans and ideas to fruition in 2022-2024. Minister Foley said: “Creative Clusters is an excellent initiative that supports students to develop their creativity, learn to adapt and collaborate and provides them with real opportunities to express themselves in a variety of exciting new ways. “Today I am delighted to announce the 78 schools that are coming together to form 21 new Creative Clusters. I would like to welcome these new schools into this Schools Excellence Fund initiative, and I look forward to seeing how these exciting projects develop over the coming two years. This is a wonderful opportunity for schools to work together on a project of their choice. Schools are given complete freedom to design and develop their own project, with support from a local facilitator and their local education centre. “This year has once again seen a very significant level of interest from schools applying to participate in the 2022 Creative Clusters initiative across the country. In the five rounds from 2018 to 2022, a total number of 1,276 schools have applied to participate in Creative Clusters, with 375 schools shortlisted and invited to participate. I hope that this exciting initiative will help schools to further enhance creativity in their classrooms.

New workshops are added weekly! ‘A-Z Alphabet of Actions’ Publication – Findings from a Pilot Early Years Initiative Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership are delighted to announce the publication of ‘A-Z: Alphabet of Actions’ which outlines the findings from a pilot project that explored literacy with young children. This project investigated how children of different ages and stages of literacy interacted with the materials. This project was developed as a pilot early-years intervention, putting arts and creativity at the centre of early childhood learning and development. Funded by ESB Energy for Generations, the project evolved in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, the early stages of the project took place during strict lockdowns and were designed to facilitate parent-child interactions. The project modelled a way of working that supported young children to manipulate and play openly with materials and connected them with their parents and other children through verbal and non-verbal communication. Artist, Naomi Draper, designed a material environment that allowed for different ‘layers’ of entry to accommodate children at a very early stage of literacy, as well as those in primary education with more developed literacy. This project investigated how children of different ages and stages of literacy interacted with the materials. The Sligo Country Childcare Committee and Children & Young People’s Service Committee (CYPSC) were delighted to be involved with the A-Z programme. The results highlighted by the parent and child’s voices have demonstrated the importance of that parent/carer interaction. If you would like to receive a copy of “A-Z Alphabet of Actions: Findings from a pilot early years initiative”, please send your name and address to info@kidsown.ie 2022 National Arts in Education Portal Day – Guest Speakers This year the 2022 National Arts in Education Portal Day is back in-person and taking place at TU Dublin, School of Art and Design on Saturday, 5 November 2022 in partnership with the School of Art and Design and the Erasmus+ International Teacher-Artist Partnership (I-TAP-PD) PD Project.

Lá Náisiúnta Thairseach na nEalaíon san Oideachas 2022 - Aoichainteoirí I mbliana, is ócáid duine le duine arís a bheidh i Lá Náisiúnta Thairseach na nEalaíon san Oideachas, 2022, agus é ar siúl in Ollscoil Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath, Scoil na hEalaíne agus Deartha Dé Sathairn, an 5 Samhain, 2022 i gcomhar le Scoil na hEalaíne agus Deartha agus Tionscadal Comhpháirtíochta Idirnáisiúnta Múinteora-Ealaíontóra (I-TAP-PD) PD Erasmus+ Tá ríméad ar Fhoireann na Tairsí fáilte a chur roimh na haoichainteoirí, an Bhantiarna Evelyn Glennie, cnagcheoltóir aonair agus cumadóir, le haghaidh comhrá speisialta le Mark O’Brien, Stiúrthóir Feidhmiúcháin Amharclann na Mainistreach. An Bhantiarna Evelyn Glennie Tá an Bhantriarna Evelyn Glennie ar an gcéad duine riamh sa stair le slí bheatha lánaimseartha a chruthú agus a chothú di féin mar chnagcheoltóir aonair agus í ag taibhiú fud fad na cruinne le scoth na gceolfhoirne agus na gceoltóirí. Tá níos mó ná 200 saothar úr coimisiúnaithe ag Evelyn le haghaidh cnagcheol aonréid agus breis agus 40 dlúthdhiosca taifeadta aici. Déanann sí máistir-ranganna agus comhairliúcháin a chur ar fáil go rialta chun an chéad ghlúin eile de cheoltóirí a spreagadh. Bronnadh OBE ar Evelyn in 1993 agus tá níos mó ná 100 gradam idirnáisiúnta gnóthaithe aici go dtí seo, lena n-áirítear 2 GRAMMY, Duais Ceoil Polar agus Companion of Honour. Ceapadh í ina hUachtarán ar Help Musicians, an chéad bhean riamh sa ról sin, agus, ó bhí 2021 ann, tá sí ina Seansailéir ar Ollscoil Robert Gordon in Obar Dheathain na hAlban. Is í Evelyn an coimeádaí ar an mBailiúchán Evelyn Glennie ina bhfuil breis agus 3,500 uirlis chnagcheoil. Is sár-léirithe iad an scannán ‘Touch the Sound’, TED Talk agus a leabhar ‘Listen World!’ ar an gcur chuige uathúil nuálach atá aici i leith an chruthaithe fuaimeanna. Lena misean, Teach the World to Listen, tá sé d’aidhm aici an chumarsáid agus an comhtháthú sóisialta a fheabhsú trí gach duine a spreagadh le bealaí úra éisteachta a aimsiú i dtreo spreagtha, cruthaithe, rannpháirtíochta agus cumhachtú. Breathnaigh ar TED Talk na Bantiarna Evelyn Glennie, How to truly listen, thíos Mark O’Brien Tá os cionn 25 bliain taithí ag Marc O'Brien, Feidhmeannach Stiúrthóir Amharclann na Mainistreach, in earnálacha téatair agus cultúir níos leithne, mar cheannaire, éascaitheoir, aisteoir, dearthóir fuaime, riarthóir, agus mar stiúrthóir téatair. Ba é freisin, a threoraigh, a stiúir, agus a d’fhorbair obair in earnáil na hamharclainne óige, agus le Team Educational Theatre Company. Bhí Mark ina Stiúrthóir ar ionad ealaíne axis i mBaile Munna. Thar thréimhse deich mbliana, d’fhorbair sé axis nó go raibh sé ina eagraíocht agus spás a raibh cáil áitiúil, náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta air, a chruthaigh, a d’éascaigh agus a rinne saothar nua agus suntasach, ar fud comhthéacsanna téatair, forbartha ealaíne agus rannpháirtíochta. Agus é ina stiúrthóir, d’éirigh axis ina mhol ealaíne agus cultúrtha d’ealaíontóirí agus don phobal. Ba í an sprioc chun fís roinnte feabhais a bhaint amach trí ionchuimsitheacht a bhí mar spreagadh aige. Fógrófar sceideal iomlán an lae náisiúnta Dé Céadaoin, an 5ú Deireadh Fómhair, tráth a osclófar na háirithintí ticéad ar líne. Beidh fócas speisialta in imeacht na bliana seo ar ‘Guthanna is annamh a Chluintear’ agus feicfear an gnáthmheascán de chuir i láthair, de chuir i láthair níos lú phlé-bhunaithe agus de cheardlanna cruthaitheacha lena rachfar i ngleic leis an téama seo. Cruinneofar baill de phobal na n-ealaíon san oideachas as gach cearn d’Éirinn le chéile sna himeachtaí seo, le bheith ag roinnt, ag foghlaim, ag labhairt, ag líonrú, ag fáil inspioráide, agus ag leanúint ag fiosrú dea-chleachtais sa réimse.
