Over 600 free creative activities for young people as part of the Creative Ireland Programme initiative supported by the local authorities and RTÉ
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Art, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin TD, is calling on all children and young people to fire up their imaginations and take part in some of the hundreds of free Cruinniú na nÓg events that will take place on Saturday 12th June 2021.
Now in its fourth year, Cruinniú na nÓg celebrates and encourages participation by children and young people in creative activities. Most of the events are led by the local Creative Ireland Programme teams across the 31 local authorities, with huge support from locally based creatives in the areas of arts, heritage, STEAM and even TikTok.
With over 600 online events to choose from this year, there really is something for everyone. From creating art out of disused drinks cans to investigating invertebrates on a Dublin Zoo webinar; to making willow lanterns and catapults at home to a Deb’s TikTok drama as Gaelige, Cruinniú na nÓg 2021 is going to be a busy day. With a strong emphasis on participation, there are lots of starter workshops specially designed to spark an interest and encourage young people to have a wonderful creative adventure!
