Schools all across Ireland (primary, post-primary, special education schools and Youthreach centres) celebrated the arts and creativity as a part of Creative Schools Week 2022 from 9–13 May, 2022.  The theme was “Creativity Lives Here”, which focused on the abundance of arts and creative activities that take place in so many forms in every school.  Creative Schools Week is a celebration of creativity in schools with a focus on fun, festivities, imagination and innovation.  

  2021’s celebration included Online Celebrations highlighting work from a selection of Creative Schools and Creative Clusters initiatives since 2018, as well as workshops, interviews and features across a wide range of different artists and arts and cultural organisations.  We invite you to watch these videos with your students to learn about school communities across the initiative as well as their creative approaches to learning and artistic responses to Covid 19.
