Creative Schools

Creative Schools 2026 - 2027 will open on the 24th of February 2026 and close the 30th of April 2026.

The Creative Schools initiative provides opportunities for children and young people to build their artistic and creative skills; to communicate, collaborate, stimulate their imaginations, be inventive, and to harness their curiosity. Creative Schools is open to primary and post-primary schools as well as Youthreach Centres and special schools.
