Creative Youth is a key pillar of the Creative Ireland Programme that aims to increase opportunities for activity and participation, and to influence public policy around creativity in both formal education and out-of-school settings. Supported by local authorities nationally, the aim is to create a place where knowledge and creativity are equal partners in the formation of our young people, giving them an opportunity to become creative, active citizens. This pillar is supported by the Creative Youth Plan.
Promotion of all activities selected for inclusion in the programme will be supported by Cork City Council and Creative Ireland.
