A programme of workshops across 8 City Connects post-primary schools exploring the over-arching theme of community.
***Our Education and Community outreach programmes are taking place entirely off-site in locations throughout the city during our refurbishment period***
We are delighted to be partnering with City Connects, a pilot government programme in the North East Inner City (NEIC) area. The aim of City Connects is to ensure that each and every student receives all the services and resources they need in order to succeed and thrive. While this pilot is already working across 10 primary schools, there are ongoing efforts to extend its model to post-primary students.
In addition to our primary school programmes run in partnership with City Connects (Art in the Classroom and Art Aficionados After School Art Club), we have begun a new project, The Art of Belonging. This project is being offered to 8 Secondary Schools in the NEIC through City Connects and explores the overarching theme of community through various sub-themes, such as wellbeing, identity and ecology. This project aims to allow students to engage with the community through a variety of media, encouraging an expression of self-identity and a sense of belonging.
This project delivers artist-led workshops to each school and is curated by Tori Boccarossa, Schools Coordinator.
