AS part of the Cruinniú na nÓg & Shared Island, Donegal County Council partnered with Scoil Cholmcille and Eglington primary schools to deliver a cross-border, cross-community multi-cultural Arts and Cultural Diversity project.
The ‘Bridging Borders, Embracing Diversity’ project aims establishes a cross-border, cross-community arts and cultural diversity programme for two primary schools—one in Donegal and one in Derry.
This initiative is designed to foster cultural exchange, promote understanding, and celebrate diversity among students, educators, and the wider community.
Artists shared their skills over three days with pupils from each school, their teachers, parents/guardians, and grandparents. Using Dance/movement, storytelling and music pupils will help the diverse student populations through arts practice.
The project took place during school hours over the week leading up to Cruinniú na nÓg, celebrating multicultural days in each school.
