Following on from a successful similar initiative in the NorthWest, NYCI Youth Arts Programme in association with Cavan and Monaghan ETB and Cavan and Monaghan Arts Services is organising a youth arts networking day which will offer you the chance to network with others doing similar work.
The day also includes a practical workshop with Young Irish Filmmakers, exploring tips and techniques for working with film in youth work settings – either as stand alone activities or by incorporating them into your youth work and facilitation skills – as well as a look at the benefits of film projects for young people.
Somhairle MacConghaile Arts Officer with Monaghan County Council’s Arts Service and Catriona O’Reilly from Cavan County Council’s Arts Service will give a brief overview of the Arts service with particular reference to the work they carry out with young people. Anne O Gorman from the Arts Programme at the National Youth Council of Ireland will give a brief overview of the supports the programme can offer you in your work.
