Places are limited and all workshops are in line with public health guidelines. Workshops will take place in MoLI, however if there is a change in public health measures, we may have to move these workshops online. All staff working with young people are garda vetted and all activity is in line with MoLI's Child Protection and Welfare Policy. For further info, check out our Child Safeguarding Statement, here.
Parents/guardians will not be in the room for the creative writing sessions, other than the intergenerational workshops, where you can book in and co-create.

The theme of International Women’s Day 2020 is ‘Each for Equal’. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in collaboration with MoLI, will acknowledge and celebrate the role of partnerships, mentoring and mutual support in helping women to advance in their creative careers in the past and in the present, with a lively panel discussion moderated by journalist Lise Hand. The panel will reflect on intersectional feminism, male allies, and the ways in which women have worked together to overcome institutional, social and economic barriers, making important contributions to Irish cultural life.
