Looking at new ways to break down climate change through movement and dance. 🌏 👯♀️ Creating a Climate for Change in Limerick is a dance project led by Dance Limerick in partnership with other organisations across Moyross and Limerick including Limerick City and County Council.

Creative Ireland is an all-of-government programme that connects people, creativity and wellbeing.
About us
Creative Ireland connects people, creativity and wellbeing. It is an all-of-government culture and wellbeing programme that inspires and transforms people, places and communities through creativity. We are committed to the vision that every person in Ireland should have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential. Established in 2017, Creative Ireland was born out of Ireland 2016, the hugely successful state initiative to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising. The Programme drew inspiration from the extraordinary public response to the Centenary and the thousands of largely culture-based events exploring issues of identity, community, culture, heritage and citizenship. Through partnerships with local and national government, cultural and enterprise agencies and local enterprise, we create pathways and opportunities for people and communities to unlock their creative potential. We believe in the power and creative potential of people, organisations and government departments working together, sharing expertise, to catalyse ideas and action. Through our focus and co-ordination, we will forge an eco-system of creativity. The Programme is built around key themes: Creative Youth, Creative Communities, Creative Health and Wellbeing, Creative Climate Action and Sustainability and Creative Industries.

As the new hourly Dublin Connolly to Belfast Grand Central service begins, a trip by ferry to Inishbofin sees women from Ennis, Ballinasloe, Belfast and Inishbofin come together to be part of 'Birds of a Feather' Creative Ireland #SharedIsland initiative. Through their creative experiences, primarily as crafters, they are building friendships and a mutual understanding of living on a Shared Island. Although from diverse backgrounds they have found common ground in skills such as weaving, knitting, felting, and retail training. Look out for their wares on Saturday 16th November at St. George's Market #Belfast Belfast City Council Clare County Council Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Eva Birdthistle Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) The Irish Times

"Creativity is a universal language. It has the ability to quickly bridge gaps and unite us in a shared passion, no matter our background.” Lovely quote from Eva Birdthistle, Creative Ireland’s engagement officer in Clare County Council as part of this The Irish Times feature on 'Birds of a Feather', one of our Creative Ireland supported #SharedIsland projects that brings together groups of women from Ballinasloe, Belfast, Ennis and Inishbofin, with various backgrounds.
From east Belfast to Inishbofin through crafting: ‘They’re just like us, friendly, just get on with things’

Some exciting news! Our project "Sustainable Energy Communities: From Plan To Do" has been shortlisted for the 2024 Institute of Designers in Ireland Awards! There are over 900 Sustainable Energy Communities (SECs) in Ireland, mostly volunteer led, working to #decarbonise neighbourhoods, businesses, and community facilities. ‘From Plan to Do’ has engaged SEC’s nationally using a service design approach, to deeply understand challenges to their work, and to #codesign and #prototype actions toward a #lowcarbon future. Led by Context Studio, and supported by Dublin City Council, Zero Carbon and CODEMA, this project partners with Connecting Cabra #SEC, but also involves other SECs from across Ireland.
