Opportunities for Creative Associates to work with the Creative Schools initiative will be announced on Arts Councils social media accounts in the coming weeks.

The Arts Council is seeking to engage up to four Creative Associates, with relevant experience, to support the delivery of a pilot project for a cohort of schools in alternative settings from autumn 2022 for up to two years.

The Creative Schools initiative supports schools to put the arts and creativity at the heart of children and young people’s lives. This pilot project will focus on schools from particular types of educational contexts that have not yet participated in the Creative Schools initiative.

In the coming months there may be other opportunities for teachers, artists, creative practitioners and individuals working in organisations in the arts and cultural sector to join the Creative Schools initiative as a Creative Associate. So keep an eye on our social media accounts!

Creative Schools is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme to enable the creative potential of every child. Creative Schools is led by the Arts Council in partnership with the Department of Education and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
