BLAST Arts in Education Residencies School 2022 Applications Open BLAST Arts-in-Education Residencies Deadline: 30 September 2022 Minister for Education Norma Foley invites primary and post-primary schools to apply for the arts-in-education initiative, BLAST 2022. Minister Foley is delighted to confirm that BLAST – Bringing Live Arts to Students and Teachers – will be running in 2022 for the second time. The 2022 programme will enable over 400 new arts-in-education residencies in schools over the course of the year. The aim of BLAST is to provide pupils in schools all over the country with the time and the space to work with a professional artist on creative, imaginative and fun projects. These innovative classes are designed and developed between the artist, teacher and the school under the coordination of the Education Support Centres in Ireland (ESCI) network of 21 full-time education support centres. Minister Foley said: “I am extremely proud to announce launch BLAST 2022, which builds on the great success of the BLAST 2021 Programme. “When I launched BLAST last year, I had hoped that it would open up the minds and the hearts of our children by providing new and creative collaborative experiences and opportunities for our children and young people and for our schools. The evidence over the past year has shown that school communities have embraced BLAST beyond our expectations. “In 2021, BLAST enabled over 480 new arts in education residencies in over 480 schools, ensuring over 12,000 students could benefit from this experience along with teachers and schools. Some of the trained artists available to schools covered topics such as multimedia, fine art, mosaics, stained glass sculpture/animation and performance art. “BLAST has shown that school is a fantastic environment for children to have new and different experiences, to make new friends, to be creative and importantly to have fun while learning. “I am delighted also to launch today the new BLAST logo, following a nationwide competition. The winning logo was chosen by a panel of judges including Louis Walsh, and Brenda Dermody of TU Dublin. “The winning entry is both creative and practical, and does an incredible job of bringing different aspects of the alerts to life, in line with the spirit of BLAST. Well done to Lily Fleming from sixth class in Bunscoil Rinn An Chabhlaigh, Rushbrooke, Cobh, Co Cork. “Lily will receive a go-pro camera, and their logo has now been adopted as the official logo for the BLAST programme. I hope they enjoy seeing it proudly adorn all BLAST activity in future!” The winning entry was selected from over 1,411 entries from primary and post-primary schools all over Ireland. 5 runners-up were highly commended by the judges for their entries. All entrants will receive a BLAST certificate. The runners-up were: - Tayla–Jae Morcombe, Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School, Mouthhawk, Tralee, Co Kerry - Louise Corry Galvin, St. Joseph’s secondary school, Spanish Point, Co Clare - Szymon Krzyzanowski, Wexford CBS, Thomas St, Co Wexford - Grace Hilliard, Coláiste Eoin, Hacketstown, Co Carlow - Julia Bartecka, Holy Family Secondary School, Newbridge Co Kildare Applications will open on 25 May 2022.

Fógraíonn an tAire Foley glao le haghaidh iarratas ó scoileanna do Thionscnamh na nEalaíon san Oideachas – BLAST 2022 Tá cuireadh á thabhairt ag an Aire Oideachais, Norma Foley TD, inniu, (25 Bealtaine 2022) do bhunscoileanna agus d’iar-bhunscoileanna le hiarratas a dhéanamh ar thionscnamh nua de chuid na n-ealaíon san oideachas, BLAST 2022. Is cúis áthais í don Aire Foley a dheimhniú go mbeidh BLAST – Na hEalaíona Beo a Thabhairt do Scoláirí agus do Mhúinteoirí – á reáchtáil in 2022 don dara huair. Le clár 2022, beidh níos mó ná 400 áit chónaithe ann do na healaíona nua san oideachas thar thréimhse na bliana. Is é aidhm BLAST an t-am agus an spás a thabhairt do scoláirí ar fud na tíre, chun obair a dhéanamh le healaíontóir gairmiúil ar thionscadail chruthaitheacha, shamhlaíocha agus spraíúla. Tá na ranganna nuálacha seo deartha agus forbartha idir an t-ealaíontóir, an múinteoir agus an scoil faoi chomhordú an líonra na nIonad Tacaíochta Oideachais in Éirinn (ITOÉ) de 21 ionad oideachais lánaimseartha. Dúirt an tAire Foley: “Is cúis bróid í dom lainseáil BLAST 2022 a fhógairt, a thógann ar cé chomh maith agus a d’éirigh le Clár BLAST 2021. “Nuair a lainseáil mé BLAST anuraidh, bhí súil agam go n-osclódh sé meonta agus croíthe ár leanaí trí thaithí agus deiseanna atá nua agus cruthaitheach a chur ar fáil dár leanaí agus dár lucht óige agus dár scoileanna. Léirigh an fhianaise le bliain anuas go bhfuil ár bpobail scoileanna tar éis glacadh le BLAST ní b'fhearr ná mar a measadh a bheadh. “In 2021, bhí níos mó ná 480 áit chónaithe nua ealaíona san oideachas i níos mó ná 480 scoil de bharr BLAST, a chinntigh go raibh níos mó ná 12,000 scoláire in ann tairbhe a bhaint as an taithí seo in éineacht leis na múinteoirí agus na scoileanna. Chlúdaigh roinnt de na healaíontóirí oilte ar fáil do na scoileanna ábhair ar nós na hilmheáin, an mhíealaín, mósáicí, dealbhóireacht ghloine dhaite/bheochana agus an tabhealaín. “Léirigh BLAST gur timpeallacht iontach í an scoil le go mbeidh taithí nua agus éagsúil ag na leanaí, le cairde nua a dhéanamh, le bheith cruthaitheach agus an rud is tábhachtaí ná go mbeidh spraoi acu agus iad ag foghlaim. “Is cúis áthais dom freisin lógó nua BLAST a lainseáil, tar éis comhórtais náisiúnta a bheith ann. Roghnaigh painéal moltóirí an lógó a bhuaigh lena n-áirítear Louis Walsh agus Brenda Dermody d’Ollscoil Teicneolaíochta, Baile Átha Cliath. Is iontráil chruthaitheach agus phraiticiúil é an lógó a bhuaigh, agus déanann sé éacht mór trí bheocht a chur sna gnéithe éagsúla de na foláirimh, i gcomhréir le spiorad BLAST. Comhghairdeas as an méid a rinne Lily Fleming de Rang a 6 Bunscoil Rinn An Chabhlaigh, Rushbrooke, An Cóbh, Co. Chorcaí “Gheobhaidh Lily ceamara go-pro, agus tá glactha anois dá lógó mar an lógó oifigiúil do BLAST. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh siad taitneamh as é a fheiceáil ar fud ghníomhaíochtaí BLAST amach anseo!”. Roghnaíodh an iontráil a bhuaigh as níos mó ná 1,411 iontráil ó bhunscoileanna agus ó iar-bhunscoileanna ar fud na hÉireann. Fuair ceathrar a tháinig sa dara háit ardmholadh ó na moltóirí as a n-iontrálacha. Gheobhaidh na hiontrálaithe ar fad teastas BLAST.
