We currently have an exciting full-time, permanent contract at Assistant Principal (Standard) (AP) Grade for a Programme Director Creative Schools.
Role Overview:
We currently have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual. Initiated in 2018, Scoileanna Ildánacha/Creative Schools is led by the Arts Council in partnership with the Department of Education, Creative Ireland and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The initiative is also informed by the Arts Council’s ten-year strategy (2016–25) Making Great Art Work: Leading the Development of the Arts in Ireland.
The initiative is contained in the Creative Youth Plan 2023-2027 also.
Creative Schools supports schools/centres to put the arts and creativity at the heart of children’s and young people’s lives. This initiative provides opportunities for children and young people to build their artistic and creative skills; to communicate, collaborate, stimulate their imaginations, be inventive, and to harness their curiosity. It empowers children and young people to develop, implement and evaluate arts and creative activity throughout their schools/centres and stimulate additional ways of working that reinforce the impact of creativity on children and young people’s learning, development and well-being. To date, more than 1,000 schools across Ireland have engaged with the programme.
