YPCE Residencies support artists or arts organisations to spend an
academic year in residence in a Higher Education Institution in Ireland that
provides initial teacher education (primary, post-primary or further education)
and/or a recognised qualification in early childhood education and care.
The residencies are open to all artform and arts-practice areas and aim
to:
Provide opportunities for artists to develop their skills and experience
in education settings, and to develop their artistic work in a collaborative
and supportive environment
Provide opportunities for teaching staff/lecturers in initial teacher
education and early childhood education and care to engage with practising
artists in creating bespoke, creative initiatives with and for their
students
Support future teachers and early-years educators to engage with
practising artists as part of their learning experience
Support future teachers and early-years educators to develop the skills
and confidence to facilitate arts experiences for the children in the schools
and settings where they work, and to champion the arts in these settings.
The Arts Council aims to support residencies across a diversity of
artforms, with a diversity of artists, arts organisations and educational
institutions.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, the Arts Council is pleased to support
