creative
29.05.18
CHILDREN and young
people across Donegal are being urged to fire up
their imaginations and take part in one of the 30
free Cruinniú na nÓg events that will take place
around the county on Saturday, 15th June 2019.
Now in its second year, Cruinniú na nÓg celebrates
and encourages participation by children and young
people in creative activities in their local
communities. It will be led by the local Creative
Donegal Culture and Creativity Team with huge
support from local artists, arts organisations,
creative practitioners and community festivals.
Activities include everything from hands on art to
nature, with a strong emphasis on participation and
are specially designed to spark an interest and
encourage the inner creative in children to try
something new or fulfil a secret ambition! |
