Cruinniú na nÓg

Cruinniú na nÓg empowers children and young people to develop their creative expression by providing opportunities for them to participate in free creative activities in their local area. It’s Ireland’s national day for ‘doing’, ‘making’ and ‘creating’! Cruinniú na nÓg takes place every June across the country.

What it’s all about - Cruinniú na nÓg

Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people.

Creative Cavan  is delivering events throughout Co Cavan and this year events also feature a cross border delivery in County Fermanagh as part of the Shared Island element of the programme.

All ages and abilities are catered for on this exciting day of creativity.

Explore and Wonder - Cruinniú

Cross border collaboration between Cavan County Council;  Holy Family School, Cootehill; Willowbridge School, Enniskillen and Share Centre, Lisnaskea sees Cruinniú na nÓg brought to children with additional needs.  The bespoke delivery programme sees Theatre Lab Cavan and Ceol Connected ensure that creativity is for all – delivering to children and young people with additional needs.  Delivery will take place in both schools with an inclusive Explore and Wonder family fun day held at the accessible Share Centre, Lisnaskea on 6 June from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.  For many families a fun day can present challenges and this approach aims to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all!
