The Arts in Education Portal editorial team invites 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.

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 2021.

To be considered for this opportunity, projects must:
– Have started in autumn 2020 and continuing into Spring 2021, or be due to start in February 2021.
– 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
