The festival provides opportunities for children, their teachers and families to connect with reading, culture, the arts and heritage. The festival sets out to explore and open up exciting spaces between literature, theatre, puppetry, arts, storytelling, technology, nature and science. It is through experiencing culture and the creative process that a child\u2019s eyes are opened to creativity and their potential for being creative is released. There is no doubt that Wainfest provides a range of opportunities for a child to be engaged in the creative process.<\/p>\n<p>Donegal County Council believes that promoting and supporting the arts, culture, heritage and language is good for our society, our economy and our national identity both at home and abroad.
