Creating Space is a collaborative two-year project between Baboró, Merlin Woods Primary School, and multidisciplinary artist Colm Ó Foghlú.
The project will follow the same children from the start of 1st class in September 2023 until they finish 2nd class in June 2024. Artist Colm Ó Foghlú will work with the children on creative activities in the classroom.
The goal at the heart of Creating Space is to help the students develop their social and emotional skills through consistent engagement with the arts. The project will encourage the children to feel confident attending arts and cultural events in the city, through visits to the Baboró festival in October and other performances throughout the year.
Colm and the Merlin Woods school community, along with all the Baboró team, look forward to working together to foster a meaningful, enriching experience for every child who takes part.
