Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s Artists in Schools Programme was initiated in 1994. Since this time the programme has continually evolved and in 2008 the Arts Office partnered with Blackrock Education Centre to deliver this programme to primary schools of the County.
The central purpose of the programme is to facilitate a professional Creative Practitioner to collaborate with a primary school class and teacher to explore creativity in the classroom setting through various artforms. A Creative Practitioner is a professional facilitator with an artform background, for example; a dancer, a visual artist, a writer or a musician.
The programme also supports professional development sessions with the participating teachers that take place in Blackrock Education Centre.
