The Right Here Right Now Rally 2023 (24 February)
If you cannot make it to Dublin then you are encouraged to rally where you are, and The Ark have created a Rally Activity Pack to help schools and families to prepare.
Workshops will be taking place in schools, for families and also online to encourage children right across the country to get ready to rally and work on their banners. These will be fun creative workshops run by professional artists. Midterm workshops for families will take place at The Ark from 16-18 Feb (free but book in advance) and online digital workshops for schools throughout February. The Ark is pleased to offer these digital workshops for free to schools outside of Co. Dublin.
Still Loading (25 Feb)
A mini-festival of new performances-in-progress for children, Still Loading... will allow young people the chance to get a look ‘behind the scenes’ at what is to come and give their feedback. All of the pieces are creative, original, enjoyable, and a bit wacky! (Ages 8+).
