Cruinniú na nÓg, the annual day of free creativity for children and young people takes place throughout the country this Saturday, June 7.
Here in Donegal there’s over 35 free events for young people and children, with venues and organisations all over the county taking part, from Carndonagh to Bundoran and Aráinn Mhór to Raphoe, in Family Resource Centres, libraries, arts centres and community halls.
In Letterkenny there are events in the County Library, the County Museum, Cara House, Smarty Pants Play Centre, the Regional Cultural Centre and An Grianán Theatre.
Three of these events are specifically for teenagers, the Manga Comic Workshop in the library, the Synth and Sound Design Workshop in the RCC, and the Youth Theatre Ireland workshops in An Grianán Theatre. All the events are free, and some may require booking in advance.
There are also lots of walk up events available throughout the county for those who prefer to just turn up and have fun.
The Manga Comic Book Workshop is a fun packed and inventive couple of hours in which Mathew O’Kane will walk participants through layout and story and character development, his previous workshops have produced amazing results! There’s still time to book for this by going online to donegalculture.ie.
Cruinniú na nÓg is the brainchild of the Creative Ireland Programme and is organised locally by Donegal County Council’s Culture & Creativity team with young people from the Donegal Youth Council. All information on Donegal events, including booking details, are available at donegalculture.ie.
Cruinniú na nÓg is an initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media and is presented in partnership with RTÉ and the Local Authorities.
