Opportunity Portal Documentation Award 2022 photo

Deadline: 26 February 2022

The Arts in Education Portal editorial team are pleased to invite applications for a documentation award. Through the award, successful applicants will receive services to the value of €5,000 that will support them in the documentation of a current or upcoming project and a €500 stipend.

The purpose of the award is to support the development of documented outcomes from Arts in Education initiatives in Ireland, which can be shared with the arts in education community and give insights into different processes of engagement. This is part of the Arts in Education Portal Editorial Committee’s commitment to supporting and recognising the value of documentation and reflection as a key component within arts in education initiatives.

Two awards will be offered through this opportunity.

Outcomes of the documentation process will include: a project video, a project feature to be showcased on the Portal’s Projects/Partnerships, and the option of a critical essay, with a view to also presenting the work as part of the Arts in Education Portal National Day in 2022.

The process will involve meetings with the Portal Team and a schedule of up to 3 visits over the course of the project to capture video and photographic documentation and support reflective processes among participants. These visits and meetings can be conducted virtually if required. The portal team will work closely with the recipients to ensure all restrictions and protocols in terms of COVID 19 are adhered to during the process to ensure safety for all involved.

The portal team will edit and produce a project video, and will liaise closely with the project partners to develop the content for the project feature. The critical essay would be sited in the Portal’s Reading Room, and is optional. The author and focus of the essay can be decided by the project organisers in collaboration with the Portal Team.

Criteria

To be considered for this opportunity, projects must:

  • Have started in autumn 2021 and continuing into 2022, or taking place in 2022 (flexibility will be give to project start dates due to current school closures).
  • Have a minimum duration of 8 weeks.
  • Involve a professional artist working collaboratively within an educational setting (early years, primary or post-primary).
  • Be underpinned by a strong ethos of collaboration and a commitment to excellence. Focus on the creative process, with children having an active and collaborative role

Additional criteria

Successful applicants will be asked to ensure that relevant permissions/consent have been sought for documentation of participants.
Please ensure your application has been approved by all project partners prior to submission.

How to make a submission:

  • Background on who you are; your professional practice and your ethos or approach towards Arts in Education.
  • An overview of the project – who is involved, how did the collaboration come about, what processes or approaches will take place, what is the aim or focus of the process?
  • A statement of interest, explaining why documentation supports would be of value to this project.

One million trees in Africa and Ireland

image006

A Chairde,

Tá súil agam go bhfuil cúrsaí go maith libh uilig.

As you may be are aware, the INTO has been lending its backing to a campaign that aims to plant over one million trees in Africa and Ireland each year, to combat climate change.

We signed up to support this campaign with Self Help Africa in 2020, but because of the Covid-19 pandemic had to defer our active participation until the current school year.

Every school that participates in the One Million Trees campaign will receive a free native Irish tree per classroom, together with age-appropriate lesson plans that can be used by teachers with their pupils.

We believe that as we exit the pandemic, this project provides schools with a pro-active educational intervention that resonates positively with the INTOs goal of Global Citizenship and Solidarity, while allowing schoolchildren to do something practical that responds to the climate change challenge.

We recently launched our campaign at the Silken Thomas Tree in Maynooth, reputedly the oldest tree in Ireland and since then several hundred schools have signed on for the project.

We are looking for ESCI support in order to maintain this momentum.

We would be extremely grateful if Education Centres would be willing to distribute the attached publicity material to all Primary Schools in your catchment areas.

Má tá a thuilleadh eolas de dhíth, please feel free to get in touch at any time.

Mo mhíle buíochas.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

 

      Máirín Ní Chéileachair

      Leas Rúnaí Ghinerálta / Assistant General Secretary
