The children of Merlin Woods Primary School presented their exhibition “If I Could Change The World” at Atlantic Technological University last week. The exhibition included a short movie capturing their thoughts and feelings which was presented to their families as part of the event.

This was the final piece of work the children created as part Creating Space, a 2 year project between Merlin Woods Primary School and Baboró, facilitated by artist Colm Ó Foghlú.

Over the two years the children were guided by Colm to express their creativity, voice and identity through a series of artistic projects and ongoing workshops.

Thank you to Rita Melia and Atlantic Technological University for hosting the event. Thanks also to Merlin Woods principal Paula O’Connor and teachers Aoife de Paor, Melissa Donohue and Amanda Baynes for their work with Colm Ó Foghlú.

Creating Space was made possible with funding from the Lifes2Good Foundation.
