Schools invited to work together on Creative Projects – Creative Clusters Initiative Creative Clusters Deadline Date: 10th May 2019 Minister McHugh invites applications from schools for second year of Creative Clusters initiative as part of the Creative Ireland programme. Participating schools will help students learn through a lens of creativity The Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh T.D. this week invited applications for Creative Clusters, an initiative taking place as part of Creative Ireland and under the Schools Excellence Fund. Each school will enjoy access to a specialist facilitator, artist or creative expertise in whatever their own chosen area of interest or theme might be. These resources will help the schools build a programme of learning and activities tailor-made for their students. In addition, clusters will receive up to €7,500 funding to help bring their plans and ideas to fruition. Making the announcement, Minister McHugh said: “This is another fantastic 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. “I hope that this initiative will help schools enhance creativity in their classrooms. It is important that our children are allowed to express themselves and learn to adapt and collaborate. Opportunities such as Creative Clusters are perfect to give students the opportunity to develop these skills.” The first year of the Creative Clusters initiative has seen schools around the country work together to develop creative projects and collaborate on new ideas based on their local experience and unique perspective. In Kilkenny, St John’s Senior School, St John’s Junior School and Loreto Secondary School are working together using coding to develop innovative projects and support the transition from primary to post-primary school. This project involves students learning a variety of different coding methods and working on coding projects to develop their problem-solving and logical-thinking skills. St Michael’s Post Primary and St Joseph’s Secondary School in North County Kerry are also collaborating on an interesting project exploring “the hidden history of North Kerry” using modern technology. This project tasks students with investigating and researching the main tourist sites of the North Kerry region. The students will use modern technology including drones to gather footage which will then be used in a documentary regarding the history of North Kerry. Students will be trained in the appropriate use of technology in the classroom and will also be able to learn valuable skills in the making of the documentary including directing, photography, narrating and producing. The Schools Excellence Fund is an initiative in the Action Plan for Education. It sets out to encourage and recognize excellence and innovation in our schools. This initiative will help deliver on the Creative Youth pillar of Creative Ireland, which sets out a commitment that every child in Ireland has practical access to tuition, experience and participation in music, drama, arts and coding by 2022. Applications are available from the Department’s website at the following link: https://www.education.ie/en/ Schools-Colleges/Information/ Curriculum-and-Syllabus/ creative-youth.html The closing date for applications is May 10th 2019.

Deis do Scoileanna: Braislí Cruthaitheacha Spriocdháta: 13 May 2022 Thug an tAire Oideachais Norma Foley TD cuireadh inniu do bhunscoileanna agus d’iar-bhunscoileanna ar fud na hÉireann iarratas a dhéanamh ar Bhraislí Cruthaitheacha, an tionscnamh atá ar siúl mar chuid d’Éire Chruthaitheach agus faoin gCiste Sármhaitheas Scoile. Is é €595,000 buiséad na Roinne Oideachais do Bhraislí Cruthaitheacha in 2022. Faoin scéim seo chun tacú le scoileanna cumas cruthaitheachta a chothú, bainfidh scoileanna i ngach braisle leas as rochtain ar shainéascaitheoir, ar ealaíontóir nó ar shaineolas cruthaitheach i cibé réimse spéise nó téama a roghnaíonn siad. Cabhróidh na hacmhainní seo leis na scoileanna tionscadal foghlama agus gníomhaíochtaí a chur le chéile a bheidh saincheaptha dá ndaltaí. Mar chuid den leithdháileadh maoinithe seo, féadfaidh braisle maoiniú suas le €15,000 a fháil chun a gcuid pleananna agus smaointe a thabhairt chun críche in 2022-2024. Dúirt an tAire Foley: “Is deis iontach é seo do scoileanna oibriú le chéile ar thionscadal dá rogha féin. Tugtar saoirse iomlán do scoileanna a dtionscadal féin a dhearadh agus a fhorbairt, le tacaíocht ó éascaitheoir áitiúil agus óna nIonad oideachais áitiúil. “Tá súil agam go gcabhróidh an tionscnamh spreagúil seo le scoileanna cruthaitheacht a fheabhsú tuilleadh ina seomraí ranga. Tá sé tábhachtach go gcumasaítear ár bpáistí chun iad féin a chur in iúl agus go bhfoghlaimíonn siad conas iad féin a oiriúnú agus a bheith ag comhoibriú. Tugann ‘Braislí Cruthaitheacha’ deis do scoláirí de gach aois na scileanna riachtanacha seo a fhorbairt, taitneamh a bhaint as léiriú ealaíne agus as léiriú cruthaitheach agus as iad seo a iniúchadh.” Faoin am seo, tá scoileanna ar fud na tíre ag oibriú le chéile i dtionscnamh na mBraislí Cruthaitheacha chun tionscadail chruthaitheacha a fhorbairt agus chun comhoibriú ar smaointe nua, bunaithe ar a dtaithí áitiúil agus ar a bpeirspictíocht uathúil. Tá sé mar aidhm ag Ciste Sármhaitheas Scoile na Roinne Oideachais sármhaitheas agus nuálaíocht inár scoileanna a spreagadh agus a aithint. Cabhróidh an tionscnamh seo le seachadadh a dhéanamh ar an gcolún Óige Chruthaithí d'Éire Chruthaitheach, rud a leagann amach gealltanas go mbeidh rochtain phraiticiúil ag gach leanbh in Éirinn ar theagasc, ar thaithí agus ar rannpháirtíocht sa cheol, sa drámaíocht, sna healaíona agus sa chódú.
