Cash Boost for Early Years Arts Sector in Northern Ireland
NIPPA – the Early Years Organisation and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland have launched two projects that will inject £340,000 into the early years sector across Northern Ireland. The partnership will see Arts Council funding made available for the delivery of arts programmes at Early Years stage (£250,000), complemented by a training programme (£90,000) for artists and Early Years practitioners who will combine their skills to help young children explore ways of emotionally expressing themselves through art and movement. Roisin McDonough, Chief Executive of the Arts Council Northern of Ireland said: “The Arts Council places a high priority on developing the quality of provision and access to creative opportunities for children in Early Years. This significant investment…strengthens our commitment to supporting an environment in which children are encouraged and enabled to express their natural creativity through the arts.” Participants on the training programme will also develop an understanding of the Reggio Emilia approach to early years education.
