Engaging, child-led creative workshops at schools

Me and The Moon have been facilitating creative activities at national schools for over 10 years. We offer bespoke projects designed by and with the children, with youth voice at the core of each creative output.

Projects are funded by either the school itself, or Creative Ireland initiatives such as Creative Schools or Creative Communities. 

 
 
 

So, what can we bring to your school?

 

“I would highly recommend these workshops to other teachers. It was so convenient that the facilitator travelled to our school and we did not have to arrange transport. I was very happy that this project was funded and the school did not incur any cost. I learned lots of new techniques and approaches myself that I will implement into my art lessons going forward. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.”
