Creative Schools in partnership with Galway County Arts Office present a bridging workshop for artists and creative practitioners with an interest in furthering their potential to work in schools.

This professional development workshop is designed to support artists who wish to expand their creative practice to include working in schools and educational contexts. It is especially suited to those emerging into this field, with little or no experience.

The focus will be on preparing artists to get school ready, understanding the basic requirements for working in this context. The workshop is also designed to provide artists with an overview of the arts in education landscape, including Creative Schools and the broader range of opportunities available at both local and national level. 

This is free to attend, with limited capacity. Interested artists / creative practitioners are required to submit an Expression of Interest in advance using this online form, to support event planning.
