Congratulations to the 17 Irish organisations selected for Creative Europe Co-operation Funding in 2018! 17 Irish organisations are partners in new Co-operations projects with Waterford City & Council taking on role as Lead Partner in their project, Murals for Communities. 

In addition, Smashing Times is a partner in the special round of Co-operation Projects related to the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018.
