Introduction

The D8 Creative Arts Summer Project (D8|CASP) is a rotating Creative Arts Project for young people aged 5-12 years living in the Dublin 8 area. Applications from those living outside the area will be considered subject to the availability of places. This is the project's fifth year in operation and we're delighted to be in a position to offer such a diversity of activities, which we hope will coninue to appeal to a wide range of ages and interests! The project will run over 2 weeks from 19th - 30th July 2010, with 3 age groups each week : 5-6 yrs, 7-8 yrs and 9-12 yrs. Each project session runs from 10am - 2:30pm, Monday - Friday. Group sizes are limited to 15, and there'll be 3 different age Groups : therefore there'll be a maximum of 45 young people attending the project each week. It's a quality, not quantity philosophy! The primary aim of the project is to expose young people to various aspects of the Creative Arts - Music, Dance, Drama and Arts & Crafts. Optional Movie-Making Workshops will also be on offer for the 2 older age groups this year! Then of course there's the end-of-project Show which takes place each Friday - an opportunity to showcase all the goings-on over the course of the week to family and friends. It promises to be action-packed! The project was fully booked out last year, so we'd advise you to enroll early to avoid disappointment. Each member of the Project Team  is actively involved in the area that they teach, so they know what they're talking about and have a passion for what they do!
