The Creative Schools team is delighted to invite you to save the date for Creative
February / Fuadar Feabhra, a national celebration of creativity in schools and education in Ireland.
Creative February is open to every
school and educational setting in the country. We warmly invite you to make your mark creatively and for every student to connect to their own creativity. This February is a time to focus on celebrating creativity, perhaps adding to the experiences
of students in the form of events or workshops and providing a platform to show how creative each school can be.
Artist Jeannine Storan has designed a poster that will arrive at your school in mid-January for you to plan and express how you might make your mark this Creative February. Using your favourite creative methods– from collage, to paint, to photography
– it's up to you how you use the poster. Why not try something new?
Keep an eye on our social media and updates here on our website in the lead-up to Creative February for inspiration sessions in the month of January, our podcasting callout and resources for post primary schools, webinars for students throughout Creative
February, creative ideas, and more.
Throughout the month please send in photos at creativeschools@artscouncil.ie and share on social media with #creativefebruary.
