Description
The traditional arts symbolise and embody the creativeness of Irish people for generations and Abair Trad seeks to explore the potential for the traditional arts within the Creative Ireland Programme.
The symposium will question, through presentations and round table discussions, how the traditional arts fit in with the five pillars of the Creative Ireland programme: children, communities, infrastructure, media production and Ireland's global reputation.
This event is free to all attendees. All are welcome to contribute ideas and find out what Creative Ireland means for them, their children and communities.
Registration from 9.30am.
Speakers and topics include:
- Micheal O'Reilly (Creative Ireland) - An Overview Of The Creative Ireland Programme, which runs from 2017 - 2022
- Dr. Matt Crantich (Academic & Fiddle player) - A Musician's Perspective
- Dr. Michelle Finnerty & Dr Jessica Cawley (UCC) - Engaging Young People At An Early Age
