Creative Classrooms

Creative Classrooms is an Artists-in-schools project by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, which places artists of all disciplines in different schools over the period of a few months. Central to the project are a  strong collaboration with the teacher and a process -led approach (outcomes are secondary), furthered by artists panel meetings that provide for specific training and arists´exchange.

The programme works from the premise that creativity is not separate from academia but an essential characteristic.

I worked with a junior infant class, their teacher & classroom assistent  from February to May, with 8 days of contact in the school and an additional visit at teacher´s exchange day where we shared our experiences with the other teachers.
